NHL Lockout Begins at Midnight
Wednesday September 15, 2004
The National Hockey League has officially closed shop.
As expected, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman announced today that the league will not play until it has a new collective bargaining agreement with its players. The announcement came following a meeting with the league's Board of Governors.
The move practically guarantees that the 2004-05 NHL season will not begin October 13, as scheduled. With the two sides far apart in negotiations on a new deal, the entire season and Stanley Cup playoffs are in danger of being cancelled.
