Winter Classic Rink Build Time Lapses

It’s that time of year again, the Winter Classic from the NHL is set to drop the puck today at Target Field in Minneapolis. In what has become an annual tradition, and something we enjoy almost as much as the game itself, the NHL has released a Time Lapsed video of the construction of the outdoor rink. We thought it might be fun to compare the video from this year with the previous versions.
