If the NHL starts back up soon which I believe it will now. Should the league set up a respectable length to the season and play through the summer? I think it makes sence to me.

Pavel said:Exactly. Although I can imagine the ice would be terrible in most arenas at that point.

He argued that basketball was traditionally a summer game that is now played in the winter, so why can't hockey be played in the summer? It's interesting, to say the least.

How does that work for next year ???richardn said:If the NHL starts back up soon which I believe it will now. Should the league set up a respectable length to the season and play through the summer? I think it makes sence to me.
