Winter Classic Headed to Fenway
The NHL made what had been rumored for a while official on Wednesday when they announced that the Flyers and Bruins will take part in the Winter Classic at Fenway Park.
"A unique event deserves a unique venue, and we are delighted the Bruins and Flyers will renew their rivalry with the 'Green Monster' providing the backdrop," NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said.
The game will take place on January 1st, 2010 and will be aired on NBC and will be the fourth NHL outdoor game this decade.
The latest Winter Classic took place last New Year's Day in Chicago when the Blackhawks and Red Wings took the ice at historic Wrigley Field.
Bauer will be well represented in the game at Fenway, as Mike Richards, Jeff Carter, Simon Gagne, Tim Thomas, Phil Kessel, Milan Lucic, Andrew Ferrence and others will be taking the ice.
Bauer Q & A
Thanks for your comments on the posts so far...I'll try to answer as many of your questions as I can, so keep your comments coming.
John: When does the Nike Swoosh come off Bauer helmets and skates? I want new gear, but don't want the swoosh.
The Nike Swoosh will be coming off the Bauer gear moving forward. All new gear that is released, starting with the new Vapor skate line, will be Bauer branded. You can find new Bauer branded Vapor and Flexlite skates right now, and our new Vapor stick, which is launched in October, will also be Bauer branded.
Tank Paolo: Is it possible to get the x60s with the stock tuuks but in black?
Sorry Tank, this isn't an option.
Steve: Just bought my kids the new vapor shift skates. they are not advertised on this web site. i think they are the same as the x40's. am i right? is this just a different naming system between u.s. and canada?
This is an exclusive model for Source For Sports based off both the X:40 & X:50.
Marc: Can you still get a custom made stick?
Yes, you can still order your own custom made stick with Bauer iD. From bauer.com you can click on the "Bauer iD" tab at the top of the page or you can go directly to www.nikebauerid.com. You can then design your own custom Vapor XXXX or Supreme ONE95.
Tim: When are you coming out with a new Bauer stick?
Our new Vapor stick will be released in October 2009.
Israels E: Was wondering when the new Supreme skates were going to come out, I also dont like the nike swoosh but I like the Supreme line of skates.
The new line of Supreme skates will be released in 2010.
Peter Veltri: Will the backstrom curve be replacing the old lindros curve? if so will there be any adjustment to the curve or just the name change?
The Lindros P88 curve will not be changing any of its specs or design. The name however will be changing to Kane. Along with the P88, the P92 Naslund curve will be changing its name to Backstrom. You'll see these changes on the new Bauer Vapor sticks and any Supreme ONE95 sticks starting in October.
