NHL To Hold 6 Outdoor Games In 2014

Reports have indicated that the NHL will be holding 5 Outdoor games in the 2014 half of the 2013-14 Season in addition to the January 1st Winter Classic in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The 5 additional games will take place at the following locations:

• Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California on January 25, 2014: Ducks at Kings
• Yankee Stadium in Bronx, New York on January 26, 2014: Devils vs. Rangers*
• Yankee Stadium in Bronx, New York on January 29, 2014: Islanders vs. Rangers*
• Solider Field in Chicago, Illinois on March 1, 2014: Penguins at Blackhawks
• B.C. Place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on March 2, 2014: Senators at Canucks

*-According to an ESPN Report, the Rangers will be the "visiting team" at Yankee Stadium for BOTH games because Jim Dolan doesn't want to lose any home games at MSG. It's unfortunate and I hope that this will change.

First up in the series is the Winter Classic on January 1, 2014 at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Michigan with the Detroit Red Wings hosting the Toronto Maple Leafs. The logos and unis have been released and you can read about them on SportsLogos.net at this link: http://news.sportslogos.net/2013/04/08/a-detailed-look-at-the-2014-winter-classic-jerseys/

I am currently working on uniform & logo match-up possibilities so stay tuned, this will take a few days. 

Here's a sneak peak:

All logos used in this post are from SportsLogos.net . All Yankee Stadium pictures were taken by me on Opening Day 2013. The marquee concept is a combo of both.
