The CWHL's Canadiennes and the NWHL's Boston Pride tied 1-1 in the historic inaugural Women's Winter Classic.
"As we were getting ready for the game, we were just a bunch of little kids," Canadiennes blue liner Julie Chu told reporters after the the first ever outdoor Women's Winter Classic. "I'd like to say we were completely focused, which we were, but there was probably a big kid in us that came out and it was awesome."
The NHL, CWHL and NWHL announced earlier in the week what had already been widely speculated; there would indeed be a women's hockey game as part of the Winter Classic festivities.
