This will mark the seventh outdoor game for the Blackhawks, who currently lead the NHL in such events.

Of their previous outdoor games, four have been part of the prestigious Winter Classic, while the remaining two were Stadium Series matchups. The Blackhawks have earned a reputation as a force to be reckoned with in outdoor games, and their return to Wrigley Field will only add to the anticipation.

The Winter Classic in 2025 will be particularly special, as it marks the team's comeback to the very location where they played their first Winter Classic game back on January 1, 2009. Despite losing that game 6-4 to their arch rivals, the Detroit Red Wings, it was a landmark event that put Chicago on the map as a prominent hockey market.

The Blackhawks' appearance in the 2025 Winter Classic will also mark their first outdoor game since January 1, 2019. Over the course of the past six outdoor games, the team has a record of 1 win and 5 losses. However, with the Connor Bedard era now in full swing, there is renewed hope for the Blackhawks to make a statement in the upcoming Winter Classic.
