After seeing no official hockey games played at the Olympic Center for more than 10 months, those words can ring out again this weekend as the National Women’s Hockey League begins a condensed two-week season in Lake Placid. The cornoravirus pandemic forced the fabled arena to abruptly shut down early in March last year after a Can-Am Hockey tournament ended, and hockey is now returning in a big way as the six-team NWHL will hold 24 games in a span of two weeks at the 1980 Herb Brooks Arena. The games will take played in a “bubble” with no fans present.
