CHICAGO (AP) — Connor Bedard and the Chicago Blackhawks took the train to work on Tuesday.
Carrying their sticks and skates and dressed in custom “Team Chicago” gear, the Blackhawks used one of the city's famed elevated trains to travel to Wrigley Field for their matchup with the St. Louis Blues in the Winter Classic.
“It’s one of the best ways to spend a summer day ... here at a game. So doing it with a little bit of a different climate is fun in itself, too.” “We just thought it would be a great opportunity to honor Wayne and everything he’s done for the game," Blues defenseman Justin Faulk said."He’s obviously an integral part in St. Louis, too. He’s done a lot for the community there and still does and he’s great to everyone in the organization and the guys and we thought there’s no better way to show our appreciation than to do this today for him.
It’s also the first rematch in the history of the game. The Blues beat the Blackhawks 4-1 in the 2017 Winter Classic at Busch Stadium.
