Burmy Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 http://www.syracuse.com/crunch/index.ssf?/....xml&coll=1I still think the Milwaukee Admirals should get to host it at an open-roofed Miller Park, but then again, what do I know about sports in my area?

KDubK414 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Since the Brew Crew and the Ads. share some minority owners, it could very well happen, probably not but could. They could even make it part of their Arctic Freeze tailgate weekend they have. Like give away a free Ads ticket with every ticket purchased that day to see the game later on. Ads weason ticket holders would get primo seating and regular hockey fans could purchase the rest of the best at a discount duting the season.

Lee. Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Any talk of an AHL Winter Classic without Winnipeg being mentioned is folly. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigboy1083 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I think that the first AHL Winter Classic should be in Canada. I would like to see the second one in Connecticut, because it has Rentschler Field. The Wolf Pack are the AHL affiliate of the New York Rangers, and the Bridgeport Sound Tigers are the affiliate of the New York Islanders, so you would get the rivalry factor. But thats just me.

Shumway Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Granted their my "hometown" team, but I think a winter classic in the AHL needs to be in Hershey. They've been in the league since 1938, so I think it's only fitting.Plus, I'd love to see these throwbacks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that they changed names a lot, but aren't they one of the original teams? I also agree with Shumway, the Bears should be first. After all they are the oldest continuous team in the AHL.
