2012 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic Alumni Game

The NHL selected the New York Rangers to participate in the 2012 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic against the Philadephia Flyers at Citizen’s Bank Park in Philadelphia, PA.  As a part of the festivities, the first sanctioned Winter Classic-Alumni game would take place on the day preceding the Classic.  Anthony led the Rangers efforts on the alumni game serving as the liaison between the league and the team.  Anthony worked with PR and Hockey Ops to draft a list of prospective players and extended the invite to the roster (http://www.nhl.com/ice/m_news.htm?id=609033).  Anthony coordinated the travel, hospitality, equipment, uniforms and game day needs for the 22 alumni and 3 coach roster, including arranging trainers and equipment staff and working with the host Philadelphia Phillies locker room attendants to ensure the event operated smoothly.  Additionally, Anthony made ticket arrangements to the alumni and Winter Classic games for alumni and families, including on-site hospitality and transportation.  This alumni game began a tradition for the league to host alumni games at each Winter Classic.
