Noul sezon din NHL debutează în această noapte

Autor: Tibi Demeter

  Cea mai tare ligă de hochei pe gheaţă din lume debutează în această noapte cu câteva partide extrem de interesante.

Ediţia 2015 a Ligii Nord-Americane de hochei pe gheaţă debutează pe şapte octombrie şi se încheie pe nouă aprilie 2016, în ceea ce priveşte sezonul regulat.

La startul sezonului se află 30 de echipe, împărţite în două conferinţe şi patru divizii, fiecare formaţie fiind nevoită să dispute un număr de 82 de partide.

Sezonul 2015/2016 este cel de-al 99-lea  din istoria NHL şi primul din secolul 21 în care meciurile ajunse în prelungiri se vor desfăşura în formatul trei versus trei.

Competiţia care este gata de start este şi prima în care fanii lui New York Islanders vor putea să-şi urmărească favoriţii  în noua sală numită Barclays Center, locul unde îşi dispută meciurile de acasă şi formaţia din NBA, Brooklyn Nets.

Dacă Islanders se pregătesc să inaugureze un nou patinoar, cei de la Edmonton Oilers vor juca pentru ultimul sezon în Rexall Place, casa lor din ultimii 30 de ani. Actuala "locuinţă" a canadienilor va fi înlocuită de Rogers Place.

Winter Classic, celebrul meci de pe 1 ianuarie, programat în aer liber, se va disputa între  Boston Bruins şi Montreal Canadiens, pe Gillette Stadium din Foxborough, Massachusetts, o arenă cu o capacitate de aproape 70.000 de locuri. Excelenta audienţă de la celebrul meci în aer liber i-a făcut pe americani să mai organizeze şi alte meciuri în aer liber. Astfel, pe 21 februarie, Chicago Blackhawks şi Minesota Wild se vor întâlni pe TCF Bank Stadium, iar şase zile mai târziu Detroit Red Wings şi Colorado Avalanche pe Coors Field.

All Star Game-ul din NHL este programat pe 31 ianuarie şi este găzduit de Nashville, la Bridgestone Arena, casa celor de la Nashville Predators. Oraşul din Tennessee este la primul All Star Game din istorie.
