On New Year's Day 2015, the Chicago Blackhawks will take on the Washington Capitals in this season's edition of the Winter Classic, a regular-season hockey match unremarkable in every way except for the fact that it reconnects the glorious winter sport to the great outdoors, conjuring up images of young skaters on frozen ponds, braving arctic conditions in the pursuit of sporting pleasure.
Sure, this edition of the Winter Classic will take place in the cavernous Nationals Park in Washington D.C.—so no, not nearly as modest as a frozen pond—but that shouldn't take away from the charm of the event.
