Mass. Speaker Wants Annual Outdoor Bruins Game
by Associated Press on Thu, Jan 7, 2010 at 5:39PM 
DeLeo, pointing to the success of the recent Winter Classic between the Bruins and the Philadelphia Flyers at Fenway Park, sent a letter National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman asking for a permanent, annual outdoor Bruins hockey game in the Greater Boston area.
The Winthrop Democrat said an annual outside game could help solidify the league's base in the area and help ensure a healthy future for the game.
DeLeo said the event, which drew a sellout crowd of more than 38,000, was an economic boon in the midst of an economic slump.
The Bruins beats the Flyers 2-1 on an overtime goal.
