The New York Rangers will play the Buffalo Sabres in the Winter Classic at Citi Field on January 1. The Winter Classic is a huge event for the league, and thus they design new uniforms and equipment for the players who are participating in this game.
One of the most exciting pieces of equipment that come out for the year are the pads that the goalies use. Some goalies go with the throwback brown pads that were worn by goalies in the early days of the league.
Other goalies like to modify their equipment as a homage to the location of their game.
