one year later, nbc sports executive vp jon miller pitched the idea of an annual outdoor television event to the nhl in 2004 "but they didn't find the concept workable." in december 2006, miller found an ally in then nhl executive vp/business & media john collins, who embraced the idea. the first winter classic was held january 1, 2008, between the buffalo sabres and pittsburgh penguins at ralph wilson stadium in orchard park, new york. the game had an nhl-record crowd of 71,217 fans in attendance. the success of the 2008 nhl winter classic led the nhl to schedule a second one for 2009, held at wrigley field in chicago, illinois, on january 1, 2009, matching the detroit red wings against the chicago blackhawks.
