The National Hockey League on Thursday canceled the outdoor Winter Classic, played annually on January 1, which this year was to be in Minneapolis with the Wild hosting the St. Louis Blues, and also canceled All-Star Weekend, which had been set for late January to be hosted by the Florida Panthers.

They were called off because there was no guarantee fans would be able to attend amid the pandemic. However, the league still is planning to start a new season on or around January 1, in hopes of each team being able to play a full season.
