BOSTON (AP) -The Philadelphia Flyers and Boston Bruins are taking their first look at Fenway Park – hockey-style – less than one month before the clubs meet in the NHL’s Winter Classic.
Players and personnel from both teams were given a guided tour Sunday of the uncompleted rink, the locker room and other facilities.
Fenway Park, the 97-year-old home of baseball’s Boston Red Sox, is in the early stages of being converted to a hockey rink that will host the New Year’s Day game between the visiting Flyers and the Bruins.
The NHL is staging the outdoor Winter Classic for the third straight year.
Wrigley Field, the home of the Chicago Cubs, hosted the Detroit Red Wings and the Chicago Blackhawks last year. Ralph Wilson Stadium, where the NFL’s Buffalo Bills call home, was the location in 2008 when the Pittsburgh Penguins visited the Buffalo Bills.
