The NHL Winter Classic

The Times

Answers:

1) New York Rangers

1) The 2026 NHL Winter Classic will be the first NHL outdoor game played in the state of Florida — which Original Six team will the Florida Panthers play against?

2) Name the college football stadium that hosted the largest crowd in NHL history with 105,491 fans on Jan. 1, 2014?

3) The first NHL Winter Classic game to be played in the United States was held in what football stadium?

4) Who scored the game-winning goal in the 2011 Winter Classic when the Washington Capitals defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins?

5) Following a 6-2 win last year at Wrigley Field, which NHL franchise currently has a 3-0 record at Winter Classic games?

6) Of the Original Six NHL franchises, only one has never won an Outdoor Classic game — who is that team?

2) Michigan Stadium

Entering the matchup balancing heavy minutes and an increased responsibility, Bedard’s performance this season is shaping up to be a potential breakout year and one the Islanders will look to try to slow down. The 20-year-old superstar leads the Blackhawks with 38 points (17 goals, 21 assists) and an impressive plus-10 rating.

While all eyes will undoubtedly be on Bedard, Chicago’s supporting cast has been equally as impressive with Tyler Bertuzzi stepping up his game this season with 23 points (14 goals, nine assists), making him a legitimate secondary scoring threat after Bedard. On the back end, Artyom Levshunov’s puck mobility and defensive awareness could also cause trouble for the Islanders, as he

Owen Cooper in “Adolescence”

Catching up after Christmas: A 2025 television post-mortem

Life moves fast. One day you’re packing for a relaxing summer vacation and the next you’re sitting down to Christmas dinner with your extended family discussing the effectiveness of New Year’s resolutions.

Knowing this, it only makes sense for a few things to have fallen through the cracks along the way. Luckily, if one of this year’s missed items is an overlooked television series, streaming makes it a breeze to catch up, from “Adolescence” to “Zero Day.” But which 2025 TV series is the most bingeable? Several titles jump out as contenders, so here are a few you may have missed.

In addition to hit returning shows such as HBO’s “Hacks,” Showtime’s Dexter franchise, FX’s “The Bear” and the Netflix phenomenon “Stranger Things,” one of the most-discussed series of 2025 is R. Scott Gemmill’s (“ER”) HBO medical drama “The Pitt.”

Lauded for its true-to-life depictions of hospital emergency room work, “The Pitt” took home five Primetime Emmys after having been nominated in 13 categories at this year’s ceremony. Led by Noah Wyle, who also starred in “ER” as Dr. John Carter throughout the show’s 15-year run, “The Pitt” follows frontline workers in a Pittsburgh hospital as they are forced to leave their personal struggles at the door and instead battle a myriad of difficult medical cases and emotional situations amid shifting workplace politics.

Season 1 of “The Pitt” is available to stream in its entirety on HBO Max before Season 2 premieres Thursday, Jan. 8.

Over on Netflix, meanwhile, viewers of all ages have been captivated by “Adoles-

cence.”

Starring relative newcomer Owen Cooper (“Film Club”) as 13-year-old murder suspect Jamie Miller, “Adolescence” is a four-part legal drama miniseries exploring the effects of toxic masculinity, insular online communities and bullying — among other social factors — on boys and young men. Hailed for its single-shot style, social relevance and commendable performances, “Adolescence” won eight of the 13 Primetime Emmys it was nominated for, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series.

The British miniseries co-stars Stephen Graham (“Snatch,” 2000), Christine Tremarco (“Wolfe”), Ashley Walters (“Top Boy”), Faye Marsay (“Game of Thrones”) and new talent Amelie Pease.

While the Netflix app is open, check out critically acclaimed Canadian comedy “North of North,” which premiered on its home network of CBC, as well as CBC Gem and APTN, Jan. 4, 2025. Already greenlit for a second season, the series follows Siaja (Anna Lambe, “True Detective”), a 26-year-old Inuk woman and mother who has grown weary of small-town life in Ice Cove, Nunavut. Desperate to create an exciting life full of opportunity for her and her daughter Bun (new talent Keira Belle Cooper), Siaja soon learns how difficult it is to start over in a town where everyone knows her most intimate business.

Likened to “Reservation Dogs” and “Parks & Recreation,” RogerEbert.com reviewer Nandini Balial writes that “the series is a mostly winning exploration of Inuit culture, the stressful limitations of life in a small town and the heartbreaking inter-

section between who you are and who you want to be.”

“North of North” Season 1 is available to stream now on Netflix, while Season 2 awaits its official release date.

Other series of note this year include the Prime Video dramedy “Overcompensating,” about a football player who comes to accept his sexuality in college; the Hulu/Disney+ original “Paradise,” which stars Sterling K. Brown (“This Is Us”) as a secret service agent investigating a presidential murder;

celebrityq&a

the Robert De Niro-led (“Taxi Driver,” 1976) Netflix miniseries “Zero Day,” chronicling a former president’s investigation into a massive case of cyber terrorism; and NBC/Peacock’s “The Hunting Party,” which sees a team of specialized agents track down killers who have escaped from a top-secret prison that is “not supposed to exist” (per IMDb).

Catch up on 2025’s best series now — another year of hit TV is right around the corner.

Glenn Close OF ALL’S FAIR ON HULU Q: It’s been nice to see Glenn Close back in a series with “All’s Fair.” I remember her work on “Damages.” Was that the first series she did?

A: Actually, her first weekly television role came shortly before that, when she joined the FX police drama “The Shield” in its fourth season as a captain who had mixed feelings about the way Detective Vic Mackey (Michael Chiklis) operated.

Close then stayed with FX for the first three seasons of the law thriller “Damages” (2007-10), which then moved to Direct TV’s Audience Network for its final two seasons (2011-12).

After that, Close’s next series job was in voice only, speaking the words of the Mothership in the animated, Guillermo del Toro-created Netflix show “3Below: Tales of Arcadia” (201819). Close was visible in both face and voice in the Apple TV espionage saga “Tehran,” which premiered in 2020 and has had three seasons so far, though the third hasn’t been available on Apple as of yet (while it has appeared in other countries). A fourth season has been in the works, though it has had to be revised because of real-world events.

Close also appeared in Apple TV’s fashion drama “The New Look” (2014), and she has committed to “Maud,” a suspense series for England’s Channel 4 with potential international distribution via co-producer Sony Pictures Television. And Hulu has renewed “All’s Fair” for a second season.

Even before she started doing series work, Close had made projects for TV, including the popular movies in the “Sarah, Plain and Tall” franchise for CBS and “Hallmark Hall of Fame.” Her TV movies also have encompassed ABC’s “Something About Amelia” (1984), NBC’s “Serving in Silence” (1995), HBO’s Christopher Reeve-directed “In the Gloaming” (1997), ABC’s “South Pacific” (2001) and Showtime’s “The Lion in Winter” (2003). She also has hosted NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” twice and lent her voice to episodes of Fox’s “The Simpsons” and “Family Guy.”

Prolific performers: 2025’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony airs on ABC

Solution on page 5.

in focus “Beast Games” - Season 2 (Prime Video — Jan. 7, Season Premiere) Bigger, bolder and more intense than ever, Season 2 of this competition series finds MrBeast with 100 more of the planet’s strongest competitors and 100 of the world’s smartest minds. “Strong vs. Smart” will battle for an eye-watering $5,000,000 prize. As players face off in the ultimate collision of brain and biceps, alliances will form and trust will break. Every challenge pushes the limits of human strength, intelligence and strategy. What wouldn’t you do for $5,000,000?

“His & Hers” - Season 1 (Netflix — Jan. 8, Series Premiere) Set in the sweltering heat of Atlanta, this new series follows Anna (Tessa Thompson), who lives in haunting reclusivity, fading away from her friends and career as a news anchor. But when she overhears about a murder in Dahlonega — the sleepy town where she grew up — Anna is snapped back to life, pouncing on the case and searching for answers. Det. Jack Harper (Jon Bernthal) is strangely suspicious of her involvement, chasing her into the crosshairs of his own investigation. There are two sides to every story — which means someone is always lying.

Held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles in November, highlights from the 40th annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony air on ABC Thursday, Jan. 1, while streaming on Hulu for music fans across the country.

With top-notch artists such as Elton John (“Rocket Man”), Olivia Rodrigo (“Deja Vu”) and Doja Cat (“Paint The Town Red”) attending as some of the evening’s guests — as either performers or presenters — this star-studded celebration sees the introduction of the Rock Hall’s Class of 2025, including Bad Company (“Shooting Star”), Chubby Checker (“The Twist”), Joe Cocker (“Feelin’ Alright?”), Cyndi Lauper (“Time After Time”), Outkast (“Hey Ya!”), Soundgarden (“Black Hole Sun”) and The White Stripes (“Seven Nation Army”).

Both Salt-N-Pepa (“Push It!”) and the late Warren Zevon (“Werewolves of London”) were honored as recipients of the Musical Influence Award, while Thom Bell (“Love Is the Message”), Nicky Hopkins (“Jet Airliner”) and Carol Kaye (“Slick Cat”) were presented Musical Excellence Awards, and producer Lenny Waronker (“Short People”) was celebrated with the Ahmet Ertegun Award, given to industry professionals known for having a major influence on today’s rock ‘n’ roll culture.

During the event, “Good Luck, Babe!” singer Chappell Roan appeared to introduce ‘80s singer Cyndi Lauper, paying tribute to Lauper’s musical influence and her activism work with the LGBTQ+ community.

“Cyndi embodies every quality of an art-

ist that I admire,” Roan said. “She’s a born performer and a revolutionary songwriter, a forever fashion icon and a fierce advocate and ally.”

Throughout the presentation, comedian Jim Carrey (“Bruce Almighty,” 2003) and singer Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac (“Dreams”) both took a turn at introducing inductees, as Carrey welcomed Soundgarden members Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron, Ben Shepherd and Hiro Yamamoto (who accepted the honor on behalf of their late frontman, Chris Cornell), and Fleetwood — a Rock & Roll Hall of Famer himself — introduced Paul Rodgers, Simon Kirke, Mick Ralphs and Boz Burrell, members of the ‘70s supergroup, Bad Company.

Lastly, Donald Glover (“This Is America”) — better known to some as Childish Gambino — took to the stage, honoring the members of Outkast by sharing the duo’s influence on his career.

“You don’t have to scream, you don’t have to yell,” Glover said. “You just have to be undeniable.”

Did you know Doug Suarez, HIS

that your hearing health has a direct effect on your overall health and well-being?

Diabetes

Isolation

Hearing loss is twice as common in people with diabetes as their peers without.

Untreated hearing loss can contribute to social isolation, anxiety, depression and cognitive decline.

Safety/Balance

Osteoporosis

People with mild hearing loss are 3x more likely to have a history of falling than people with normal hearing.

Osteoporosis can adversely affect the three tiny bones in the middle ear, which can lead to hearing loss.

Tinnitus

Hypertension

Up to 90% of people with tinnitus have some level of noise-induced hearing loss.

High blood pressure can be an accelerating factor of hearing loss in adults.

Cognitive Decline

Depression

Adults* with hearing loss experience a 30-40% faster decline in cognitive abilities than their peers with normal hearing.

In a recent survey, adults* with untreated hearing loss were more likely to report depression, anxiety and paranoia than peers who wore hearing aids.

*75 years and older
