The venue, the location, the more than 500 midshipmen in the stands wearing their service dress uniforms and the pregame pomp and circumstance planned should separate the 2018 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series game from the previous 24 regular-season outdoor games the League has held.
That won't be lost on the players and coaches from the Washington Capitals and Toronto Maple Leafs when they play at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium on Saturday (8 p.m. ET; NBC, CBC, SNE, SNO, SNP, TVAS, NHL.TV).
"If you're a North American, this one is more special because of the men and women that look after you and give you all the privileges you have in your life by keeping you safe and living in a democracy," said Toronto coach Mike Babcock, who has dual Canada-United States citizenship. "To me, it's a special, special thing."
