The Nashville Predators and Tampa Bay Lightning were the final two clubs to participate in the NHL Stadium Series. According to Kevin Weekes, the NHL is planning to host a Sunshine state outdoor stadium game where the Florida Panthers will host the Tampa Bay Lightning. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/KevinWeekes/status/1623396696737689601?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1623396696737689601%7Ctwgr%5Efc2e4dc247f863c089957dfbf6794470b9c2a0c4%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bladeofsteel.com%2FGary-Bettman-and-the-NHL-to-announce-next-outdoor-game-location-and-it-going-to-fail-miserably-207176'> </a></blockquote></div> Outdoor hockey games, especially in warm-weather locations like Florida, present unique challenges with regards to maintaining the quality of the ice. The NHL has struggled with ice quality in indoor arenas in Florida in the past, and this issue is only magnified when the games are played outside. In these warm-weather locations, the ice quality can deteriorate quickly due to the warm temperature and direct sunlight. The NHL has attempted to address these challenges by using special refrigeration systems and other ice-making technology, but it remains a difficult task to maintain a playable surface for an extended period of time in these conditions. The Lake Louise game faced similar challenges with maintaining ice quality, and it highlights the importance of careful planning and preparation for these outdoor games. Will there be interest in the sunshine state? Florida already has trouble filing up their stadium, even when hosting the All Star game as we witnessed last weekend. Could they really sell out a 66,000 plus stadium? Doubt it.
