Spe­cial Announce­ment Involv­ing The NHL and Fen­way Park This Week

July 12th, 2009 by James

Fenway Park 2010 Winter Classic
On Fri­day, the NHL posted a press release about an announce­ment Fen­way Park this Wednes­day July 15 about a spe­cial event. The press release lacked any details about the spe­cial event, how­ever the rumors have been swirling for the past sev­eral weeks about Fen­way Park & the Boston Bru­ins being the host of the 2010 Win­ter Classic.

It has been fur­ther spec­u­lated that the NHL wanted the Bru­ins to play the Wash­ing­ton Cap­i­tals but NBC wanted the Fly­ers in the Win­ter Clas­sic. The rumors went fur­ther that NBC won that dis­agree­ment. Looks like this Wednes­day, we’ll know if all the rumors and spec­u­la­tion are true.

Now, I’ve made no secret about what I think of NBC’s cov­er­age of the NHL. But if the rumors are true that NBC pushed for the Fly­ers in the Win­ter Clas­sic and won, they’ll have won a few points with me.
