Report: Wrigley Field to host Blackhawks-Red Wings

According to a published report from the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the Chicago Blackhawks will meet the defending Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings on New Year’s Day at Wrigley Field.

Citing an NHL source, the Star-Tribune reported an announcement is expected next week before the inaugural "Blackhawks Convention" at the Chicago Hilton.

On New Year's Day, the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Buffalo Sabres in a shootout in front of an NHL-record crowd of 71,217 at Ralph Wilson Stadium in New York.

Is it too early for me start hunting for tickets? A CBC article in September stated more than 42,000 tickets were snapped up in less than 30 minutes for that tilt.
