from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
Although nothing is official, the momentum to play Winter Classic II in New York, preferably at Yankee Stadium, live on NBC, on New Year’s Day 2009 is growing, with NHL quietly exploring the possibility by conducting a feasibility study to discuss the pros and cons of the venture.
Even though outdoor games can be risky, expensive and bothersome to stage, there is a growing sentiment in the league to schedule one every year for the foreseeable future, preferably on New Year’s Day, to take advantage of its potential as a made-for-TV event.
