The 2022 NHL Winter Classic is being played in Minnesota featuring the St. Louis Blues and Minnesota Wild. The temperature at puck drop is expected to be the coldest on record for the event, projected at minus-19 degrees Celsius.
Despite the frigid temperatures, several Blues players got off the team bus wearing nothing but beachwear. Shorts, T-shirts, with no winter clothing. Hockey!
You call this cold?! #WinterClassic pic.twitter.com/NXWH5ys00u

It may be beach day amongst the Blues to ring in the new year, but there’s also a hockey game to be played under the lights on Saturday night.
Now THAT is what we call a Winter Classic arrival!
