RMNB’s Photos of the Winter Classic

Photos: Amanda Bowen

Unable to secure a photo credential for the Winter Classic from the NHL, we went on the open market to buy a ticket. Then we saw the prices (the most expensive in five years) and had a small panic attack. That is until reader Sarah Heffern reached out to us. One of her friends was sick, unable to come, and needed someone to claim the ticket. She offered it to us at a discounted price.

Because of Sarah’s generosity (read her account of the game), we now bring you these incredible photos from Amanda Bowen. She manages to capture nearly the entire experience. Below are photos from the spectator plaza, the merch area, the USO Board, and inside Nats Park. She also brings you the Brouwer Rangers, Ovie the Bulldog, that sick flyover, Kathryn Tappen, and a celebrating Troy Brouwer.

We’ve linked to the high-resolution version for each photo, so we encourage you to click on your favorites. These are truly incredible pics. The shadows and light are crazy.

NHL Releases 2015 Winter Classic Pre-Game Ceremonies Which Includes Billy Idol and a Flyover

Yesterday, bits and pieces of the NHL’s pre-game ceremonies were released to the public. We learned that Caps-anthem regulars Bob McDonald and Caleb Green would be performing the Star Spangled Banner along with the US Army Chorus. We also learned that Lee Greenwood would be at Nats Park for some reason.

Now we learn even more. The NHL has announced there’ll be a flyover by jets, a Billy Idol performance, and Gavin DeGraw will try to resurrect a career that died about three years ago. Man, the NHL sure knows how to be hip.

There’s lots of little good nuggets below though, especially for those of you who are going to the game. Check it out.
