So 6 outdoor games next year???

The series will begin with the Winter Classic, which was recently confirmed for Ann Arbor, Mich., on Jan. 1, 2014, and will also include with games in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Vancouver. The Jan. 1 game will include the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs. In addition, California will host its first outdoor regular-season game, with the Anaheim Ducks and the Los Angeles Kings to meet at Dodger Stadium Jan. 25. That game will be the first of three outdoor games planned for the week leading up to Super Bowl XLVIII slated for New Jersey on Feb. 2. The plan involves the New York Rangers playing two games at Yankee Stadium -- vs. the New Jersey Devils Jan. 26 and New York Islanders Jan. 29. The remaining games would take place on March 1 at Chicago's Soldier Field, pitting the Blackhawks against the Pittsburgh Penguins. On March 2, the Canadian-based Heritage Classic will return with the Vancouver Canucks hosting the Ottawa Senators at B.C. Place.

Overkill and marketing gimmick.
