First Day Boston and the NHL will live stream the Winter Classic at Copley Square
Can’t score a ticket to the NHL’s Winter Classic at Gillette Stadium on New Year’s Day?
The biggest regular season game in hockey will be live streamed at Copley Square for First Day attendees, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh announced Monday.
“I am grateful to First Day/First Night and the NHL for teaming up to put on this special event in the city,’’ Walsh said in a statement. “The City of Boston is home to some of the best sports teams and the best fans in the country, and there is no better way to watch the Boston Bruins defeat the Montreal Canadiens than on a big screen TV in Copley Square.’’
The Bruins will face off against the Canadiens at 1 p.m. on January 1 in the NHL’s annual outdoor game. The Bruins are the first team in the league to host the Winter Classic for a second time. The B’s beat the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 at Fenway Park in 2011.
