MONTREAL — According to a pair of sources with knowledge of the Winter Classic event, storied rivals Boston University and Boston College have agreed to play each other in an outdoor college hockey game at Fenway Park on Jan. 8. The sources told WEEI.com that the game will take place exactly a week after the Bruins and Philadelphia take part in the Winter Classic on New Year’s Day at Fenway.

Talks are still underway for a second college hockey game paired with BC/BU at Fenway, and it could be either two different Hockey East men’s teams or a pair of Hockey East women’s teams in second part of the college doubleheader. The Boston College/Boston University college hockey undercard is expected to be finalized and part of the announcement at Fenway Park when the NHL makes the 2010 Winter Classic official next month.

    BU/BC at Fenway Park will be an instant classic…it’s a nice little treat for a pair of programs that have great tradition around the city of Boston. If the Fenway Park grass survived the Rolling Stones, then I think it can survive a few hockey games in January.

    I’m pretty sure with all the money that Fenway Park brings to Boston, they can afford the groundskeepers to repair the field in February for a season that doesn’t even start until April.

    On the more important note: I hope this stuff catches on, outdoor games bring a whole different aspect to this, the greatest of sports. I think people will attend just because it’s outside. Great move, Hockey gods!
