Connor Bedard and the Chicago Blackhawks will take on the St. Louis Blues on December 31 for next season's NHL Winter Classic at Wrigley Field.
The NHL announced the date of the 16th Winter Classic on Wednesday night.
This marks the first NHL outdoor game ever played on New Year's Eve, and the second ever played in December.
The event will also mark the first time the Winter Classic is taking place on a date other than Jan. 1 or Jan. 2. The NHL began the New Year's tradition in 2008.
The home field of the Chicago Cubs previously hosted the 2009 Winter Classic, during which the Blackhawks lost to the Detroit Red Wings.
