The pandemic may be throwing all kinds of wrenches into scheduled plans like the Winter Classic, the NWHL playoffs and Minnesota Wild games, but fortunately for hockey fans, one event will still take place - just in a different way than usual.
The Wild, along with Fox Sports North, announced Thursday that the annual celebration of Hockey Day Minnesota will take place on February 27th, broadcasting from the John Rose Oval in Roseville, Minnesota. However, the normally in-person event featuring several live, outdoor high school and collegiate contests will be replaced with a series of replays and retrospectives, as well as one live (though indoor) event - a regularly scheduled game between the Minnesota Wild and the Los Angeles Kings.
