Looks like Grand Rapids and Duluth East will be representing boys hockey on an outdoor rink at Target field during the NHL winter classic between the Wild and Blues. Pretty cool! Does anyone have any other details? Is it a full game? Exhibition? I'm surprised this wasn't released more than 1 day before the event. Randolph is missing out.

Wow. I had no idea.

This game isn’t on Rapid’s or East’s schedule on MN Hockey Hub.

I guess that makes it an expedition.

explains why they were both suspiciously in town late this week for unusual single game non tourney action ?

I’m guessing they’re doing what the Gophers are doing, just skating around on one of the smaller rinks in the outfield.

Mankato East & West appear to be out there as well

Yeah, appears that's all it amounted to despite the NHL article that portrayed a larger event, oh well, still cool and very memorable for all included parties.
