Outdoor games:
Potentially freezing your ass hole for 3ish hours
Presumably no overhead camera for reviews
Far from perfect ice conditions would lead to shitty hockey
Sightlines in a football stadium are not meant for a past paced game like hockey with a much smaller object being wacked around(Puck vs. Football)
I could go on and on but outdoor games are dumb. It was call as a one time thing in the NHL but the novelty as long since warn off.

play it on the oval.......place a net at both ends and use it as is....it would make for a very interesting game that would draw more than a regular set up.  Put the nets back to back. If we are getting creative, they could just go with one net.....goalies would switch when the other team took control of the puck. To stop a quick goal during the change, when you gain control of the puck you would have to do a lap before coming back into the zone, to give the goalies time to warm up again. I would pay to see that. |

I would pay to see that. I wouldn't. It isn't wide enough ... too difficult to get through to the net ... just a big trap game. |

I'd probably go depending on the weather. Too many unknowns. An interesting concept though. I think people would be into it the first time (something different), but after that (if there is a second time), it'd be meh...

www.halifax.ca/skatehrm/SpecialEvents/index.phpSpeaking of outdoor games Ron Maclean is there for shinny etc Feb 14. The days of people playing outside has now become a bad thing and they rather play video games, stuff their face and watch the TV, not exactly roughrider territory.

That is far less appealing to me than actually playing myself. |
