Red Wings v Blackhawks at Wrigley - 1/1/09

Just announced on ESPN... here's the Trib's take...

CHICAGO - According to a published report, it looks like there will be hockey at Wrigley Field, the home of the Chicago Cubs.

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports that the Chicago Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings plan to participate in the National Hockey League's third outdoor game on New Year's Day, and want to use the North Side ballpark as the site.

An announcement is expected next week before the Blackhawks Convention at the Chicago Hilton.

Go Blackhawks

Being a huge Blackhawks fan (they are only behind the Cubs and Bears for me) I am so excited about the way the team is heading and hiring McDonough was a great move.

And they have the best fight song in sports just slightly ahead of Bear Down Chicago Bears and Go Cubs Go.

I am so there if possible.

Go Cubs
