NHL Cancels 1st Two Weeks of Hockey Season

It’s official. The NHL has canceled regular season games from October 11th until October 24th.

Hockey fans saw this conclusion coming for the past few weeks. NHL officials already canceled all pre-season games and most of the league’s all-stars have jumped ship to rival European leagues. On top of that, talks between the players’ union and team owners have been a failure, the latest attempt saw both sides leaving the table after 2 hours of talking.

Players, team sites and fans have already begun to tweet their feelings:

There is one upside to the league canceling the first two weeks. As pointed out by Greg Wyshynski (Puck Daddy), The league has only canceled the first two weeks, not the first two weeks of games. There might still be the full 82 games season but crammed into a smaller time span.

NHLPA reps and team owners aren’t scheduled to sit down in the near future. This would be the third time the NHL has locked out since Gary Bettman took over as GM.
