With the 2020 Winter Classic taking place at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas, more southern markets are being considered for host outdoor hockey games, so now is the chance that Tom Dundon and the Carolina Hurricanes front office have been waiting for.
Dundon has stated in the past he is serious about bringing in either the 2021 Winter Classic or the 2021 Stadium Series game to Raleigh, and he is pushing hard on the league office to get it done. This included talks with the Governor about bringing some outdoor hockey to Carolina and setting things into motion to make it happen.
