In case you haven’t heard, the NHL will have an outdoor game on Jan. 1 from Buffalo, NY.\u00a0 I love this idea (they held an outdoor game in Edmonton a few years ago).\u00a0 Their tie-in to the Internet is well-constructed:<\/p>\n
For the first time, the NHL is creating two live broadband shows, which will be available exclusively on NHL.com.<\/p>\n
The first program will be a live preview show from the XM Radio Studio within the NHL Powered by Reebok store in Manhattan. Hosts Don La Greca and E.J. Hradek will cover topics such as outdoor games of years past, game analysis and the decision process behind the AMP Energy NHL Winter Classic.<\/p>\n
The second show, hosted by Bill Clement and Sam Rosen, will broadcast live from Ralph Wilson Stadium in Buffalo, and will attempt to capture the experience of being on-site at the event, giving a behind-the-scenes look at creating an outdoor ice rink.<\/p>\n
Buffalo natives William Fichtner of the Fox television series “Prison Break” and Chad Michael Murray, star of The CW’s “One Tree Hill,” are scheduled to participate in the NHL.com’s blogging community.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
