The Bruins are gearing up to play in their fourth outdoor game in recent years. However, this one is a bit different.
Lake Tahoe will play host to Sunday’s Bruins-Flyers matchup as part of the NHL Outdoors series. While the Bruins have played in three Winter Classics, those have all been held in actual stadiums (Fenway Park, Gillette Stadium, and Notre Dame Stadium). They’ve never played in a setting like this.
In preparation for the pair of games (the Avalanche and Golden Knights will face off on Saturday night), a hockey rink was constructed right next to the 18th green of the Tahoe Resort golf course.
