Hockey in its purest form takes place outdoors - we all know that.
Just not when it's pouring rain.
The AHL's Bakersfield Condors and Ontario Reign suited up for the annual Outdoor Classic game Saturday night in Bakersfield, Calif., and, unfathomably, played through brutal conditions during the second period.
The storm would eventually let up.
The rain is starting to let up a little, but you can still see the players' wakes in the water #OutdoorClassic
