ST. LOUIS - The good ol' days are coming back for one night only.

Blues legends Brett Hull, Bernie Federko, Al MacInnis and Chris Pronger will lace up the skates again in the Winter Classic Alumni Game at Busch Stadium, which will be held on New Year's Eve.

Blues President and CEO Chris Zimmerman made the announcement at Tuesday's Winter Classic press event at Busch Stadium.

The complete alumni rosters for the Blues and Blackhawks will be announced at a later date.



Fans who purchase tickets to the Winter Classic will also receive access to the Alumni Game. Currently, the only way to purchase tickets is by becoming a Blues Season Ticket Holder.

In addition to the Alumni Game, Zimmerman said the Blues would work with the NHL to host a FanFest at Ballpark Village that will feature a heavy emphasis on developing youth hockey in St. Louis, along with learn-to-play initiatives. In addition, Kid Rock will perform on New Year's Eve at Scottrade Center.

"Some of our plans are still coming together, but the goal for that entire week between Christmas and New Year's is that it will be a celebration," Zimmerman said. "You've got things happening around the city, around the region that we'll tap into."
