The Boston Bruins is one of several NHL teams considering playing home games outdoors, and the team confirmed with WCVB on Thursday. “(We) are exploring all possible venue options for the upcoming season, including Fenway Park,” said Brandon McNellis, Director of Communications and Content at Bruins. According to McNellis, the team has been in constant contact with NHL as well as Massachusetts and Boston officials, but no decision has been made. “At this point, we are in the exploration stage,” he said. It’s also unclear if fans can participate in outdoor games. This may not be the first time Bruins has dropped a puck on Fenway. Boston defeated the Flyers 2-1 in the park during the 2010 NHL Winter Classic. Winter Classic paved the way for the Frozen Fenway series of ice skating and hockey events for local and regional high schools, colleges and colleges in the stadium.
