Outdoor Games

According to the Republican Herald AHL leadership and the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins are discussing an outdoor game similar to the Winter Classic held by their NHL affiliate. Penguins CEO Jeff Barrett has reportedly stated that Northeastern Pennsylvania is where they want to have it. This begs the question; who they would play against? Hopefully the answer would be the Philadelphia Phantoms. As far as high school hockey goes there is an opportunity here for teams to play before the AHL match-up to test the ice.
