The Washington Capitals are reportedly
set to host the Chicago Blackhawks for the 2015 Winter Classic.
The Capitals had been selected as the host last September.
The Blackhawks will be the
choice for the New Year's Day spectacle.
The location has apparently not yet been finalized, but both media outlets
indicate that Nationals Park is the likely site.
Both teams have participated in the annual contest once before. The Capitals
beat the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2011 edition at Heinz Field and the
Blackhawks hosted the Detroit Red Wings at Wrigley Field in 2009. The also played Pittsburgh
last March at Soldier Field.
