The Boston Bruins will host the Montreal Canadiens for the NHL's annual Winter Classic on New Year's Day, and everyone in the Boston area is getting into the spirit.
That includes New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, who took to the outdoor ice at his home field of Gillette Stadium on Thursday alongside Bruins head coach Claude Julien.

Belichick told reporters he used to play in a midnight hockey league while he was an assistant coach with the New York Giants.
"Drive 45 minutes to get out there and fall around and slash each other," Belichick said of his hockey league. "Wish I could've played hockey. It's a great sport."
