No Winter Classic

Happy Halloween everybody. Well I wish I had good news for all of you hockey fans out there. Unfortunatley that isnt the case. With all hopes of having an 82 game season shattered, now the NHL is about to take away one of the best things the NHL has come up with in a long time. The Winter Classic!!! It is expected that the NHL will cancel this years Winter Classic that was set to be played at the Big House in Ann Arbor Michigan. There was also going to be a whole bunch of outdoor games played at comerica park as well. The alumni Game, AHL Games, and some college games as well. This was a huge event for the city of Detroit and Ann Arbor. While it is only the winter classic that is being canceled, I do not hold hope that the other events will happen either. This is very disapointing to say the least. The Winter Classic has turned into one of the premier events to take place on New Years Day. This was the first year Detroit was going to host the event after playing in Chicago's Winter Classic against the Black Hawks. The Red Wings were going to host the Toronto Maple Leaf's in what was sure to be a terrific Original Six matchup. Not only are we losing a terrific event, but the city of Detroit is losing out on tons of revenue generated by the event. With both the NHL and the NHLPA making no plans to meet before tomorrow, it is almost inevitable that the NHL will cancel the Winter Classic. :(
