Nearly 47,000 fans packed Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia on Monday to witness North America’s annual New Year’s weekend outdoor hockey game, the NHL Winter Classic. The result: a 3-2 New York Rangers win over the Philadelphia Flyers, giving the team the NHL’s best record at 24-9-4. While technically a home game for the Flyers, Rangers fans were out in full force to cheer on their team. My assignment was to capture their experience of the event. Below are a few of my favorite photos from the day! ©Madison Square Garden, L.P.
