 As you know, by now Hockey Day Minnesota is coming to Bemidji in January. As usual, Hockey Day will feature several outdoor high school games. The 2019 version will also feature the first Outdoor D1 men's game at the college level with Bemidji State taking on Michigan Tech on Friday, January 18. There may very well be some challenges that come with playing outdoors in the winter but some of the BSU players have played on Hockey Day Minnesota before and the winter conditions could make for quite an interesting time. Conditions aren't going to be great, but if they're the same football team then that's what makes it even more fun. It's not going to be your typical game. It's not going to be a structure. There's going to be some, again, there's going to be some weird elements. I mean, hey, it might be snowing. It could be cold, it could be warm. Who knows? None of us know but the bottom line is just going to be an unbelievable setting. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
