Hockey fans will have the chance to watch an outdoor hockey game featuring the Hamilton Bulldogs and Oshawa Generals at Tim Horton’s Field next month.

The Hamilton Bulldogs made the announcement on Tuesday during an interview on CHCH TV’s Morning Live.

The team says the 2022 Outdoor Showcase game will give fans a similar experience to what the NHL provides with the Winter Classic, Heritage Classic and Stadium Series games.

“I’m thrilled for our players, staff and fans to get to experience this once in a lifetime type of event,” said Michael Andlauer in a press release. “This Outdoor Showcase presents a wonderful opportunity to once again bring our community together through our Hamilton Bulldogs.”
