The NHL has confirmed a site visit to Ohio Stadium, where a potential outdoor game may be held. The Columbus Blue Jackets are 'in the mix' to host the NHL Winter Classic. There are discussions about featuring the Detroit Red Wings at the Blue Jackets with a theme involving the University of Michigan and Ohio State. Additionally, there could be multiple animated games this season with broadcast partners, and the NHLFrozenFrenzy is likely to return before the end of the regular season.
