NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said during a media scrum Tuesday afternoon that the Blackhawks “likely won’t be considered” for the 2020 Winter Classic at Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas, reports Scott Powers of The Athletic.
The Stars will host the annual outdoor showcase for the first time on Jan. 1, 2020. It will be the furtherest south the NHL will have the Winter Classic. The NHL did play a Stadium Series game in 2014 at Dodgers Stadium between the Ducks and Kings.
On Tuesday, the NHL announced the 2020 Winter Classic and the 2020 Stadium Series.
