Check out a view from a drone of a snow covered southeast Wisconsin after a snowstorm Nov. 29-30, 2025, that left several inches of snow across the area.
The Milwaukee Admirals will be playing outdoors in Minnesota on Friday, Jan. 23, despite the extreme cold.
Just like much of Wisconsin is experiencing dangerously cold temperatures, so is Minnesota.
Hockey Day Minnesota 2025 is taking place Jan. 17 through Jan. 24 in Hastings, which includes an outdoor game between the Admirals and Iowa Wild on Jan. 23.
Organizers for the event posted to Facebook Jan. 21 announcing that the American Hockey League game is still on and scheduled to begin at 5 p.m.
“Fans attending Hockey Day Minnesota games on Friday and Saturday are encouraged to dress appropriately with multiple layers and blankets,” the post states.
“Heated tents and fire pits will be available for fans to use throughout the complex.”
That part of Minnesota is under an an extreme cold watch and temperatures could reach as low as -19 degrees on Friday, according to the National Weather Service, but wind is expected to not be as strong.
The Milwaukee area is also under extreme cold watches and warning later this week and many school districts have called off classes.
