The Winter Classic was the brainchild of then NHL Executive VP/Business & Media John Collins. The third Winter Classic was held at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts, on January 1, 2010, featuring the Boston Bruins and the Philadelphia Flyers. The result was a dramatic 2-1 overtime win for Boston, making the Bruins the first home team to win an NHL outdoor game. The announcement of the 2010 Winter Olympics roster for the United States men's national ice hockey team was made shortly after the game had ended. Outdoor effects of wind and sun glare may give an unfair advantage to one team, so the NHL sometimes modifies the third and overtime periods. In this case, play is stopped at the midway point and teams switch directions. This option was exercised in 2008.
