Just a quick post for lunch time reading:
According to a SportsNet Canada report, the NHL [National Hockey League] is planning two outdoor hockey games on Lake Tahoe in California. Here’s what Elliotte Friedman tells us:
When the NHL on NBC broadcast schedule was released last week, one game stood out as an oddity: Colorado at Vegas on Feb. 20. It is the network’s lone Saturday telecast before April 17.
The next day, there’s a Philadelphia-Boston matchup that’s also a bit strange. For the Bruins, it’s their only game in six days; for the Flyers it’s their only one in five. In the travel-friendly East Division, that’s unusual.
There is a logical explanation.
According to multiple sources, the NHL is beginning its Mystery, Alaska experiment, with four teams as part of a unique two-game, two-day “Outdoor Weekend” showcase at Lake Tahoe. Edgewood Tahoe Resort, home of the popular celebrity golf tournament, is hosting these games, which will be played around the 16th, 17th and 18th holes.
BTW, photo is the “approximate” location, from what we’ve heard.

The NHL has been trying to increase fan interest by having games like – giving the sport an injection in the arm – and this is how you do it.
