November 3, 2012, 9:53 PM

The American Hockey League has cancelled a scheduled outdoor game between the Toronto Marlies and Grand Rapids Griffins following the news that the 2013 NHL Winter Classic and the 2012 Hockeytown Winter Festival had been cancelled.

The game was scheduled to take place on Dec. 30 at Comerica Park, home of Major League Baseball’s Detroit Tigers. Instead, the game will take place on Dec. 29 at Van Andel Arena, which is the Griffin’s regular home arena.

Fans who purchased tickets for the Comerica Park game and other Hockeytown Winter Festival events can obtain refunds through their point of sale, the AHL announced.
