The Blackhawks will host the NHL Winter Classic "at Wrigley Field against the Blues" in 2025, according to a source cited by Ben Pope of the CHICAGO SUN-TIMES. Despite the Blackhawks’ poor record this season, rookie C Connor Bedard’s star power has "proven to be a massive television draw,” making the league and its TNT television partner "motivated to get him on the biggest possible stage.” Next season will mark the Blackhawks’ third time hosting the Winter Classic and fifth time participating in it, passing the Bruins for the "most of any franchise." The Blackhawks previously hosted the Red Wings at Wrigley Field in 2009 and hosted the Bruins at Notre Dame Stadium in 2019. In 2025, Wrigley will become the "second location ever to host multiple Winter Classics," following Fenway Park (CHICAGO SUN-TIMES, 2/6).
