NHL Winter Classic Does Well for NBC (for Hockey, That Is)

The NHL Winter Classic did over a 2.0 overnight rating for NBC. William Houston of the Toronto Globe and Mail has the story.

The Sports Media Watch says casual fans who watched got a positive impression of hockey. And Paulsen talks about the overnight ratings as well.

NBC has to be pleased and I’m sure the NHL will plan for future outdoor games. I do hope there will be more as the first outdoor game in Edmonton did well in 2003 and this one did also.
