Several NHL teams are mulling a plan to move their home games outdoors so they can host live fans for the upcoming season.

About a dozen teams are rumored to be considering the plan – but no Canadian teams, where coronavirus restrictions don’t allow fans in outdoor venues.

It still hasn’t been determined when the 2021 hockey season will begin.

Commissioner Gary Bettman has hinted at a Jan. 1st start but calls the plan a “work in progress.”
