Grand Rapids Griffins News Release
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - With today's cancellation of both the 2013 NHL Winter Classic and the 2012 Hockeytown Winter Festival due to the absence of a collective bargaining agreement between the NHL and the NHLPA, the Grand Rapids Griffins' outdoor game against the Toronto Marlies scheduled to be played on Sunday, Dec. 30 at Comerica Park in Detroit will have a new date and venue.
The game will now take place on Saturday, Dec. 29 at Van Andel Arena at 7 p.m., comprising the second of back-to-back contests between the former division rivals, who will also face off in Grand Rapids on Friday, Dec. 28 at 7 p.m.
