Smashing Pumpkins and Billy Corgan were among the performers bringing festive cheer to the crowd at this year's Winter Classic, the annual NHL game that takes hockey into outdoor stadiums on New Year's Eve.
At this year's event, held in front of 40,000 fans at Wrigley Field in Chicago – home of baseball's Chicago Cubs – the St. Loius Blues defeated local favourites the Chicago Blackhawks 6-2, with St. Louis defenceman Can Fowler scoring twice.
