Winter Classic 2009
It was an incredible day at Wrigley field! A perfect setting for the 2009 Winter Classic. It was cold but just amazing! I’m still just taking it all in. For now enjoy some photos from the event.

- The entrance to Wrigley Field. Play “Find Nick” in the photo.
-
- Oh man… This is so cool!
-
- Yeah, these seats will work just fine!
-
- Good to see Captain Nicklas Lidstrom on the ice during the warm up skate. He was able to play the game.
-
- I wonder if Chris Chelios had any words of wisdom for the youth of the Chicago’s Blackhawks.
-
- Players make their dramatic entry to the game.
-
- “Oh Canada!”
-
- “And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air”
-
- Two jets approach for a very loud flyby.
-
- Puck drop!
-
- Pavel Datsyuk gets a goal
-
- End of the first period. Osgood and coaching staff exit the ice.
-
- The Hawks get one more in the third, but with only 9.2 seconds left it was all over. Red Wings win in regulation 4 to 6.
-
- The game was a battle on both sides, but at the end of the day it was pretty special for everyone involved.
Thanks to Chicago for hosting. The host for the 2010 Winter Classic have a very high bar to achieve.
