For All the Hockey Fans - All Two of You - Out There

*Love that the NHL has established this as a New Year's Day tradition and am happy that the Flyers are going to be apart of it this year. It's the ONE hockey game I make it a point to watch every season.

This just in from ESPN.com:

The
Philadelphia Flyers will accept an invitation to play the Boston Bruins in the NHL Winter Classic in Fenway Park on New Year's Day, a source told ESPN.com's EJ Hradek.

Earlier reports indicated the
Washington Capitals would play the Bruins in the third Winter Classic. But the NHL has an eye on matching the Capitals and the Rangers at the new Yankee Stadium on New Year's Day 2011.

Also, a plan for a New Year's Day 2010 Winter Classic doubleheader (Flyers vs. Bruins at Fenway; Leafs vs. Flames at McMahon Stadium in Calgary) continues to move forward. The first game is set. The second half of the twinbill should get the approval of the league's competition committee, which will meet tomorrow morning in Montreal.
