No, the 2020 Winters classic is not coming to the state of New Jersey. The very limited outdoor arenas of the state will have not ice on top of them in 2020. Sorry Metlife Stadium, however their still is a slight chance the New Jersey Devils could play in the next Winter Classic.
No opposing teams were announced at the New Year’s Day press conference. The Devils own Blake Coleman could be the voice in the commissioner’s ear that get’s the word out. The Dallas native had some words on his hometown getting the classic.
As Sports Day Dallas reports, when asked what he thought Coleman replied:
“It’s big now, There’s tons of kids coming up now who are potential NHL players and even my age, there’s guys scouting throughout the league.
