NHL looks to make major decision on new destinations for Global Series

The NHL is preparing to expand its global presence significantly by introducing teams to the Southern Hemisphere for the first time in September. Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly has disclosed that aside from the event in Melbourne, Australia, the League is exploring the possibility of hosting preseason games in other unique international cities in the upcoming seasons.

Daly emphasized the importance of creativity and innovation in making business decisions for the League.

The League has already taken substantial steps to increase its global footprint, with regular-season games held in various European cities since 2007, including Stockholm, Gothenburg (Sweden), Prague (Czech Republic), Helsinki, Tampere (Finland), Berlin (Germany), and London (England).

In a groundbreaking development, the 2023 NHL Global Series will feature the Minnesota Wild, Toronto Maple Leafs, Ottawa Senators, and Detroit Red Wings playing two regular-season games each at Avicii Arena in Stockholm. This marks the first time the NHL has brought four teams overseas for regular-season games, underscoring the League's dedication to international expansion.

Daly mentioned the evolution of the League's approach, shifting from exhibition games to regular-season games played overseas as the league's popularity has grown. He emphasized the need for adaptability and adjusting strategies to meet demand while continuing to grow the League's brand.
