Preparing for an outdoor event like the Winter Classic is like preparing for any other game. No matter what the setting, the goal is to win the hockey game. In the Maritime provinces outdoor hockey isn't a niche activity, it's part of the culture. Playing on outdoor rinks is like a rite of passage. Playing solo, just stickhandling around and waving around the ice is just a natural thing to do, as well as taking some wristers, snap shots and slap shots on empty nets, targeting the corners and sometimes even the posts for an additional challenge. When there's enough people, a pick-up game could randomly start so playing with random people trains the way you can read plays since there's next to no chemistry. Playing outdoors in a grand event isn't the same thing at all, there's a lot more on the line, so yeah there's no gimmicks, even if it looks like a cash grab.
