The New York Rangers have flourished when playing outdoors. The NHL could too.
Nearly 30 years ago the New York Rangers faced off with the Los Angeles Kings in a outdoor game. Played in the 1991 preseason, the game was the first outdoor game played between two NHL teams in the modern era. To make the game an even more ambitious event, it was held in Las Vegas. Temperatures during the day were in the mid 90’s leaving the ground temperature near 120 degrees.
