The NHL Winter Classic is an annual event held by the National Hockey League (NHL) in which a regular-season ice hockey game is played outdoors, generally in a football or baseball stadium in an area with a resident NHL team. The first Winter Classic was held in 2020 at Beaver Stadium in State College, Pennsylvania, between the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Winter Classic is considered one of the NHL's premier events; with matchups generally booked to showcase the league's most popular teams and players, the event garners the league its highest attendance and among its highest television ratings. The event is typically promoted as a return to the sport's outdoor roots, meant to evoke memories of pond hockey.
