With each new year comes the time-honored tradition of playing hockey where it was meant to be prominently featured -- outdoors. The NHL's Winter Classic brings hockey fans and general seasonal enthusiasts together for one of the greatest displays in sports. To kick off a new decade, the Cotton Bowl takes centerstage.

How to Live Stream the Winter Classic

Stars vs Predators will be broadcast nationally on NBC, with puck drop scheduled for 2 p.m. ET from Dallas. Live streams can be found on the NHL streams subreddit shortly before or after the opening faceoff.

The first ever Winter Classic was played in 2008 between the Penguins and Sabres, in which Sidney Crosby scored the game-winning goal in a Winter Wonderland.

That moment is unlikely to be topped from Texas, but with two competitive Western Conference teams on the docket, we're in for a treat.

This Central Division clash showcases the true depth of the NHL as a whole this year, as Nashville sits second-to-last in their bracket despite featuring a respectable record (four games above .500). Roman Josi and the Preds hope to use this memorable event as a launching point nearly midway through the campaign.

Dallas, meanwhile, has a six-point advantage on their opponent, which is good enough for third in the Central.

As the NHL continues to expand hockey to areas often deemed unfamiliar -- in particular playing an outdoor game in an area which is typically unseasonably warm this time of year -- the rest of us can watch comfortably from our couches as the Preds and Stars face off in the great outdoors.
