SUNRISE, FLA. - The Senators haven’t given up hope of playing on Parliament Hill.
While the NHL announced four outdoor games for the 2016-17 campaign -- including one in Toronto on Jan. 1 -- the Senators never expected to be part of those announcements because the game they want to play against the Montreal Canadiens is on the 2017-18 schedule.
Though there are plenty of logistical issues and challenges with putting up a temporary outdoor stadium on the grounds of Parliament Hill, league officials certainly haven’t ruled out the possibility of the Senators facing the Habs to help celebrate Canada’s 150th and the NHL’s 100th anniversaries.
