Pro Women’s Hockey Player Leaves Winter Classic On Stretcher

This year’s NHL Winter Classic will feature the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens facing off at Gillette Stadium, which typically plays host to New England Patriots games.

Puck drop for the 2016 Bridgestone Winter Classic is set for 1:00 p.m. ET. No television coverage or live online streaming is planned for the women. An example of celebrities playing on the Boston side would be Lenny Clarke and Denis Leary, two comedians from Boston, as ESPN points out. It’s one of three outdoor games this season, including two Stadium Series games – the Blackhawks against the Wild at TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on February 21 and the Red Wings facing the Avalanche at Coors Field in Denver on February 27.

Bruins defenseman Torey Krug, who played in an outdoor game while playing for Michigan State University, confirmed his coach’s statement.

Fundamentals is, and continues to be, a key part of the game, as teams such as these two work themselves down to the very core to be flawless on the ice. If the Leafs play the Rangers, maybe the Furies can play the NWHL’s New York Riveters.

Access to the NHL’s powerful marketing and social media machine at a marquee event is most important spin-off for women’s hockey, according to NWHL commissioner Dani Rylan. The league said she was transported to Massachusetts General Hospital. Not the look the National Hockey League is going for. That right there is a ton of exposure. “So we have an opportunity to do that again tomorrow, and I think that this is ideal for us”.

The NWHL has promised to pay its players and committed to a salary cap of US$270,000 per team, while the CWHL is not yet in a position to pay player salaries. It makes for gripping television for hockey fans, but it also raises a bigger question over whether or not the constant filming is a distraction.

“We’ll dumb it down nearly like it’s a road game for us. The guys that are stepping up to replace David and Brad are great players to do the job, and that’s how we have to approach it”. Your family and friends there and everybody watching. “Because space is so limited a Gillette Stadium, where would they actually have locker room facilities?”

Fairfield’s Julie Chu, the five-time world champion player, is the only American on the Les Canadiennes roster.

Fardelmann is one of several NWHLers (including Riveters teammate Bray Ketchum) who will fill gaps on the Pride roster left by players committed to attend USA Hockey camp in Minnesota.

“When I grew up and played college hockey I’d meet these kids from Minnesota and they’d all talk about pond hockey”, he said. Plenty of other people have weighed in on that and I don’t much feel like tossing my hat in there to get lost.
