2024 is Boston's 100th season :dunno:

That is why the 2003 Winter Classic at Fenway doesn't make sense unless it was a bone to the Pens owner who also owns Fenway Park.

Aren't teams more likely to celebrate their 100th anniversary which for the Bruins would be 2024-25?

Since it's been a Players' Picnic for several years, there's no motivation to cancel it. Just stop televising/streaming it, and show NHL "classic" games to keep the fans interested in real hockey while the boys yuck it up or rest up (depending on which ones get invited).

It is an interesting dichotomy as on one hand you hear about the All-stars wanting it in sunny locales and want the "work" to be as much play as possible. Then you have the players who don't make, truly being rewarded with a week off to take a vacation. The whole premise is stupid. While we are at it, do away with the Pro Bowl and NBA all star nonsense as well.

The All-Star Game in all leagues including NHL get some of the highest tv ratings in their leagues. Will never do away with them.

The networks pay the big bucks for these events which get higher ratings.
