In what is perhaps the worst kept secret in recent NHL history, the official release of the NHL schedule today revealed what everybody already knew -- the New York Rangers and Philadelphia Flyers will participate in the NHL Winter Classic on January 2, 2012 at Citizens Bank Park.
Flyers fans may wonder why this game isn't played at the larger Lincoln Financial Field, that is due to the Eagles having a game on January 1st which would conflict with setting up the hockey rink.
Rangers fans may ask why is this game not at Yankee Stadium as has so often been rumored as a future home of a Winter Classic, that is due to the fact that NCAA Football's Pinstripe Bowl is scheduled for that week at Yankee Stadium and would prevent the NHL from setting up shop in the Bronx.
Regardless of the location, fans are going to want to see this game and they are going to want to see it bad!

Saw the New York Rangers play Montreal Canadians at Madison Square Garden. What a brilliant night's entertainment ! We had great comfy seats and there was beer and food available all night.
