According to several reports the Philadelphia Flyers will host the New York Rangers in Philadelphia for the 2012 Winter Classic.
Phillyburbs.com was the first to report the City of Brotherly Love would play host to the fifth annual event.
The game will take place at the home of the Philadelphia Phillies, Citizens Bank Park, on Monday, January 2nd.
The Philadelphia Eagles host the Washington Redskins across the street at Lincoln Financial Field on New year’s Day. The NHL did not want to go head-to-head with the NFL and therefore moved the Winter Classic back one day.
This will mark the second time in three years the Flyers are playing in the Winter Classic. They lost at Boston’s Fenway Park in 2010 to the Bruins.
