Where are you getting your information? The upcoming Winter Classic and Stadium Series games will be the first outdoor NHL games played in Florida.

The ice conditions for outdoor hockey games are significantly influenced by nature, i.e., sunlight, wind, precipitation, etc.

It has nothing to do with an entity doing something wrong. Maintaining a quality ice surface is a lot of work under normal conditions in closed air arenas.

Saw the lines from Monday practice and indeed the players have been put into a blender
   A bit of a puzzle to me is Nyquist and the continued, of late, spot in the Press Box
He is 36 and is signed at a $3,250,000 a.a.v..  Is Chevy trying to Trade him or is the Waiver wire not far away.

Again Names is penciled in at center. After 117 faceoffs, he has a PITIFUL success rate of  37.6 %  ..........  ***

Quote from: Tecno on December 09, 2025, 02:31:10 PMFor all of AH's faults, I don't recall him making as much of a stink every FA.  Brady's agent should tell him to shut up publicly and just negotiate quietly with KW.  Everything Brady is saying in public can easily be kept private with KW.


AH is from a different generation than Brady, the younger they are the stranger their norms.  My business interactions with younger people often leave me baffled, their words don't necessarily connect with their actions. Gets to the point were you can't take them all that seriously, if they follow through on what they say it's a bonus.

Quote from: Throw Long Bannatyne on December 09, 2025, 06:05:58 PMBC paid Hatcher stupid money, wake me up when the highest paid receiver finishes the season as the CFL's top reciever.  It's always some other guy earning half as much, at least Brady has challenged for the rushing lead every year so far.

It was Kenny, this season.

Quote from: Jesse on December 09, 2025, 06:13:58 PMSo this article suggests he was still on his rookie deal (I mean obviously he was, but maybe Kyle tried to be sneaky and the extra year was originally low as well).

Maybe low-balled him but he did sign an extention for 2026 when he came back in Sept.

No idea why they don't just move this back 2-3 weeks, even around Remembrance Day.

They've held outdoor hockey games in both Florida and California and will be holding another one this Jan. in Tampa, if ice is the problem Wpg. is doing something wrong.
