July 13, 2005
The 301-day NHL lockout is over.
The NHL and NHL Players’ Association released a joint statement that they've reached an agreement in principle which, pending ratification, will allow NHL hockey return this fall.
According to the press release, "details of the new agreement will not be made available publicly pending the formal ratification process by the NHLPA Members and the NHL Board of Governors.
"It is anticipated that the ratification process will be completed
next week, at which time the parties will be prepared to discuss the details of the agreement and plans for next season. No further comment will be made until then."
It has also been learned the 30 team player reps will meet via a conference call at noon (eastern time) today and players will vote on the proposal next Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. A board of governors ratification vote will likely follow shortly thereafter.
The two sides have met for 10 straight days, including a marathon session that stretched through Tuesday night and into this morning.
It has been widely reported the new labor deal will feature a hard team salary cap and a 54 per-cent linkage between overall league revenues and player compensation.
