Outdoor World Junior Game

While it is a great experience for the fans and it will be a memorable experience for the players, im just not too sure this is the right thing to do.

The winter classic for the NHL is in the middle of the regular season not only because of weather but because the games aren't as meaningful as those late march early April games. Simply there isn't a ton on the line.

Usa v Canada is a huge game for the world juniors and totally impacts the standings for the medal round play.

Weather impacts the game severely for these outdoor games and if I'm a coach of either team I'm probably not too thrilled that because it's an outdoor game my team could be at a disadvantage. (The sun, direction of wind, etc).
