Bruins, Canadiens alumni to face off at Winter Classic

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The current rivalry between the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens will not be the only one celebrated at the 2016 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic.

The League announced Wednesday that there will be an alumni game played at Gillette Stadium on Dec. 31, pitting legends of the heated rivalry against each other one more time.

For many who have been involved in the competition between the Bruins and Canadiens over the past nine decades, the mere sight of the opposition's logo rekindles the embers of a rivalry that never goes fully dormant.
