The league wiped out all games through Dec. 30 in its latest round of cancellations. Already, 422 regular-season games had been called off through Dec. 14 because of the loc...

Talks fell apart Thursday night amid back-and-forth accusations, and the fallout was still being felt Friday. The two sides had no contact with each other on the 83rd day of the owners' lockout of players. ...

The NHL said not so fast, and then took away everything that created all the optimism in the first place. When the 82nd day of the lockout was over, it was hard not to think the sides were thrown back to the very start of the fight. The problem ...

(AP) — Shane Victorino bolted for Boston, Marco Scutaro stayed with San Francisco, and the Miami Marlins shed more payroll in a late-night trade. It was another busy day at baseball's winter meetings, where it's easy to tell which teams are making major changes (the Red Sox), which ones want to remain intact (the champion Giants) — and wh...

The dueling sides in hockey's labor fight met for nearly eight hours — over two long sessions — on Tuesday, and those conversations lasted until midnight. NHL deputy commi...

So far, Commissioner Gary Bettman and the league's negotiating committee have failed to hammer out a new collective bargaining agreement with the players' association — led by executive director Donald Fehr — that would end the l...

A crew of six owners will meet with a handful of players on Tuesday in New York — one day before the league's board of governor...

(AP) — Tim Tebow stood on the sideline with a cap on and his hands in his pockets as Jets fans chanted his name. They wanted to see the backup quarterback in a 49-19 blowout loss to New England on Thursday night. Turns out, there was little chance Tebow would see a snap.

But it will be meaningful and rewarding in a unique way. Like players and fans all across North America and...

A large contingent of players got together with league leadership on Monday night and met for under two hours. Not a whole lot was accomplished on the road to a new agreement that could get the hockey s...

It is a question both sides seem to have trouble answering, and not because they are being guarded or coy. The lockout is in its third month, and there is no obvious path to progress. There wa...
