The Ottawa Senators are lobbying the NHL to try to secure an outdoor hockey game in Ottawa for December 2017.
The city is in talks with not only the league, but the federal government. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson said that the city is still negotiating to try to get something in place.
“Obviously there are two choices we have- Parliament Hill or Lansdowne Park,” said Watson, referring to the most likely locations for such a game. “Both have their strengths and weaknesses.”
It would make a tremendous amount of sense for Ottawa to host an event like this in 2017.
