The September 15th deadline for a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between the National Hockey League and National Hockey League Players' Association passed without any agreement being reached.
Therefore as a result, the training camps will not open until an agreement over the new CBA is reached. The NHL has instituted a lock out of the players til an agreement is collectively reached and agreed upon.
Executives from the NHL and NHLPA last met on Wednesday, when proposals for a new CBA was exchanged. However, an agreement was not reached at that time and Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said Saturday that there were no formal negotiating sessions are scheduled.
Commissioner Daly stated "We spoke [Saturday] and determined that there was no point in convening a formal bargaining session in light of the fact that neither side is in a position to move off of its last proposal. I'm sure we will keep in touch in the coming days and schedule meetings to the extent they might be useful or appropriate. We are sorry for where we are. Not what we hoped or expected."
