TORONTO - The outdoor rink at High Park is set to play host to the first-ever UUHA Winter Classic. Taking place on the evening of Sunday, Feb. 19, the 2012 installment of what is expected to become an annual tradition will feature the Parkdale Hockey Lads and the Wheatfield Souldiers facing off on the outdoors rink at one of Toronto's most beautiful parks. The teams will take to the ice at 6:30 pm. Despite the shinny-like setting, the two-hour game will be officiated by a UUHA-approved referee, governed by standard league rules and both teams will play in full gear. Points accrued in the contest will not count toward league standings nor individual players statistics. Spectators are encouraged to attend (there is an adjacent pleasure skating ice pad) and to join the two teams for post-game refreshments at a nearby establishment (location TBA).
