NEw York Yankees played Boston Red Sox at the London Stadium over the weekend, the first regular season league games played outside the USA.
Near capacity crowds of 60000+ attended both games, which saw wins for the Yankees 17-13 and 12-8, high scoring games for the MLB. This was partly attributed to shorter than usual center field lines, but also poor pitching displays by both teams. Anyway, that's MLB,NBA and NFL all regularly playing games in the UK.
Maybe the GB team's performances at the World Championships will encourage the NHL to test the London market again.
