The NHL is “definitely” interested in a return to the United Kingdom, likely London, according to the league’s senior executive vice president of media and international strategy David Proper. In his recent interview with Sportsnet, David Proper revealed that London and Manchester are on the NHL’s international hit list. The NHL has played in the UK fifteen times before, with the Belfast Giants hosting the Boston Bruins in October 2010. The 2007 NHL Premiere is the latest NHL-on-NHL contest to be held in the UK, with the Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings playing a two-game series at the O2 Arena in London.
