NHL’S Winter Classic/Heritage Classic Alumni Roster More Than 100 Strong

From the NHL:

The Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals who participate in the 2011 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic at Heinz Field will join a privileged group of 121 athletes currently on NHL rosters who have forged their own memories of playing in a special NHL game in a unique setting.

      Since the NHL’s first outdoor game, the 2003 NHL Heritage Classic, was played in Edmonton, more than 150 players currently on NHL rosters have played in a major outdoor game—at least one from each of the League’s 30 Clubs.

      A select 10 active NHL players have played in multiple major outdoor games, with St. Louis goaltender Ty Conklin the only man to have appeared in three. Those players who have dressed for two outdoor games include Boston teammates Michael Ryder and Daniel Paille, Buffalo’s Ryan Miller, Calgary’s David Moss, Dallas’s Adam Burish, Chicago defensemen Brian Campbell and Duncan Keith, Minnesota’s Eric Nystrom and Tampa Bay’s Adam Hall.

 

Conklin, Paille, Ryder and Campbell are the only current NHLers to have appeared in more than one League outdoor game—although that list could more than triple on New Year’s Day with the addition of Washington’s Jason Chimera (who played for Edmonton in the 2003 Heritage Classic); Pittsburgh’s 2008 Winter Classic alumni Sidney Crosby, Tyler Kennedy, Kris Letang, Evgeni Malkin, Brooks Orpik and Jordan Staal; and Penguins Craig Adams (Chicago, 2009 Winter Classic) and Arron Asham (Philadelphia, 2010 Winter Classic).

      The complete player list is below:

“The experience is once in a lifetime. It’s not just being a cliché. Fenway Park and the Bruins and Flyers and 40,000 fans on a perfect day. You couldn’t ask for anything better for the game of hockey. It was just an unbelievable experience to be a part of it for our organization, for our players, for the fans. It was just a great day of hockey. It was awesome.”
- Peter Laviolette, Philadelphia Flyers, 2010 NHL Winter Classic

“It’s the perfect day for hockey in Boston. It’s a thrill to see all these pros turn into kids again for one day. This is how we all started playing hockey - outdoors. And this day, here at Fenway Park, truly is a classic.’’
- Bobby Orr, 2010 NHL Winter Classic

“You can’t say enough about this whole atmosphere, this whole environment.  Chicago did an unbelievable job putting this together. It was so much fun. We didn’t really know what to expect, we didn’t know how the ice conditions were going to be, we didn’t know how the weather was going to be, and everything just turned out great ... it was even a better experience than I thought it was going to be.”
- Kris Draper, Detroit Red Wings, 2009 NHL Winter Classic

“I have pretty lofty and grandiose expectations for everything and this has surpassed it.  I’m happy for the city of Chicago, I’m happy for the NHL, but most of all I’m happy for our fans. This city is electrified—our fans have really embraced this. None of us knew what to expect. There’s a hockey game being played on New Year’s Day at Wrigley Field. It’s a special moment. The only way you ever top this is to win the Stanley Cup. That would be the ultimate. We’re privileged to be a part of this.”
- John McDonough, Chicago Blackhawks, 2009 Winter Classic

“We couldn’t have asked for anything better.  It was picture-perfect. One of the great crowds of all time. Light snow, an incredible game, a great hockey shootout. And the greatest player in the game scored the winning goal. Can you script it much better than that?”
- Sam Flood, NBC Executive Producer, 2008 NHL Winter Classic

“It was a great stage for the National Hockey League to get an event like this and send it across the United States and Canada. I think they got what they were expecting. You couldn’t have scripted it any better. You had the best player in the world going against arguably one of the best goaltenders in the world. It was great.”
- Adam Mair, New Jersey Devils, 2008 NHL Winter Classic (playing as a member of the Buffalo Sabres)

“The atmosphere and excitement, I don’t think you can beat that. It’s something to look back and say we had a lot of great memories being a part of it.”
- Sidney Crosby, Pittsburgh Penguins, 2008 NHL Winter Classic

I wonder why they don’t mention the 1991 outdoor game in Las Vegas between the Kings and the Rangers. Just because it’s exhibition? Previous commissioner?
