No new meetings on the horizon for NHL, NHLPA

Share

The NHL and NHLPA have been in contact this weekend, but as of yet, there are no new meetings set for negotiations.

The league and players association haven't formally talked since Thursday, when talks certainly ended in unusual fashion. NHLPA executive Donald Fehr stated at the time the two sides were close to a deal, something he reiterated when he spoke to the Canadian Auto Workers in Toronto on Saturday. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly categorically denied the two sides were close on Thursday.

Sunday marked Day 85 of the lockout. Games are currently canceled through Dec. 14, although more cancellations could come soon. The 2013 Winter Classic and 2012-13 All-Star Game have also been canceled.
