When the NHL's 2009 winter classic was to be healed at Fenway Park immediately people started to think that there should be a college side of things. So this year there might be. The final announcement is set to take place Thursday August 20th. There were thoughts of making an all Hockey East tourny with Vermont, Providence, BU and, BC. That was shot down but now it is expected that there will be a doubleheader. The first game will be the woman's turn Northeastern vs UNH @ 5:oo. Then later that night the main event Boston University and Boston College's mens teams will face off at 8:00 at Fenway Park.It is almost a lock on the fact that there will be close to or freezing temperatures weekend the excitement felt by every one.
"I’m really excited about that. It’s a dream come true,” said BC coach Jerry York while scouting at a summer league event at Walter Brown Arena yesterday. “We just need a cold clear night, don’t we? That would be pretty good. And having the women’s teams, wow!“It’s going to be a late start; how cold might that be?,” York asked quizzically. “I think it’ll be a lot of fun. I think ticket prices will be pretty good. I envision 25,000 people, maybe. What a thing for Hockey East.”
