BOSTON (AP) -- A college hockey doubleheader will follow the NHL's winter classic at Fenway Park.
The Boston College and Boston University men's teams will play outdoors at the ballpark, as will the women's hockey teams from Northeastern and New Hampshire. The Boston Herald first reported on the games Thursday and a person involved in the negotiations confirmed the deal to The Associated Press. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the official announcement was scheduled for next week.
The games will be on Jan. 8, a week after the New Year's Day pro game between the Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers.

Let's play three.
While I do actually find the outdoor game to be a yawner, and an over kill, I do however think this would be the venue that I would like to watch an outdoor game in. When I lived in Massachusetts back in the late 1980's early 1990's I did manage to take in 13 games in the hallowed Fenway Park and the place is absolutely an awesome baseball stadium and it might be worth the price of admission to watch a hockey game or two there. I would recommend an hot drink spike with your favorite beverage though.
