A spokesperson for the Columbus Blue Jackets confirmed the team would not be hosting its Winter Park in 2019 after the event schedule was hampered by weather the last two years.
“Columbus Blue Jackets Winter Park will not be held in 2019. This was not an easy decision as Winter Park was enormously successful as part of the 2015 NHL All-Star Celebration and in its return the following year. However, poor weather resulted in more than one-third of scheduled ice time at the outdoor rink being canceled each of the last two years. The Blue Jackets are open to bringing Winter Park back in the future, but no definitive decision has been made at this time.”
The winter attraction has been the home of an outdoor skating rink, which was open to the public and featured Blue Jackets practices, at McFerson Commons since 2015.
