Weather Already A Major Factor In Stadium Series Plans

"Mother Nature is already having a major role in this weekend's Stadium Series game in Annapolis, Maryland. Both the Toronto Maple Leafs and Washington Capitals were scheduled to practice on the ice on the field of Navy-Marine Corps Stadium, but those plans have been cancelled.
Both teams will practice indoors tomorrow because not only does the forecast for rain in the afternoon, but the National Weather Service as issued a high wind warning until 7 p.m. Friday night. They are expecting northwest wins 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 60 mph.
Saturday's forecast looks go, especially for the fans in the stands. Annapolis is expected a high of 49 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature at puck drip is predicted to somewhere around 45 degrees Fahrenheit or 9 degrees Celsius.

Leafs and Caps move Friday practices indoors. Rain in the forecast in Annapolis area.
