BOSTON (AP) -- Some Massachusetts high school hockey coaches say their programs are being priced out of a once-in-a-lifetime chance to play a game at Fenway Park. The rink was constructed on the field of the oldest and smallest park in the majors for the NHL's Winter Classic between the Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers on New Year's Day, and the Boston Red Sox made the ice available for high school games. The Boston Globe reports that so far only wealthy private schools have been able to come with the up to $30,000 it costs to play a game at the park. Burlington High School coach Bob Conceison says he would love to play at Fenway, but his public high school can't afford it. A Red Sox spokeswoman says the fees just cover costs.
