I know this is likely to get denied, since it would be breaking the tradition, but it would make more sense if the page was renamed to 2021 NHL season, rather than being called 2020-21 NHL season. The reason is because the season is not starting until January 13, so no part of the season will be played in 2020. Just a thought. Chris6d ^(talk) 22:58, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Chris6d: The 2012–13 NHL season did not start until January 2013 so everything is as it should be. – Sabbatino (talk) 04:54, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep in mind that both the draft and most of the free agency period did/will take place during 2020 and those are considered to be part of the new season. Also the 1994–95 NHL season did not start until January as well. Deadman137 (talk) 05:31, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Chris6d: Agreed. And prior seasons should be renamed, as well.Plainsong (talk) 23:51, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Deadman137: In MLB, the free agency period starts immediately after the World Series and continues into the next calendar year. Should we rename 2021 Major League Baseball season?Plainsong (talk) 23:51, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
