Could Navy host an NHL game?

Athletic director Chet Gladchuk called reports of the Naval Academy hosting a National Hockey League game "purely speculative" and "extremely premature."

Gladchuk was responding to a blog entry by Sportsnet reporter Elliotte Friedman that NHL officials were exploring the possibility of playing outdoor games at Army West Point and the Naval Academy.

Friedman, who serves as analyst for Sportnet's "Hockey Night in Canada" telecasts, wrote in his latest column there is consideration for the New York Rangers to host a game at Michie Stadium on the campus of West Point. Speculation is the Washington Capitals would host a game at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium if the idea moves forward.
