The NHL has confirmed a site survey at Ohio Stadium, with the possibility of hosting a Winter Classic game involving the Columbus Blue Jackets. The event, which could feature the Detroit Red Wings and potentially have an Ohio State theme, is still under consideration. The annual #HockeyFightsCancer game is set to take place, with rookie Adam Fantilli supporting his grandmother battling cancer. The Blue Jackets will recognize pediatric cancer heroes, and special activities, including jersey raffles, are planned for the event.
