Representatives from the fighting sides made it into the same room with a federal mediator Thursday. They just didn't make any noticeable progress. After a failed day Wednesday when the parties on ei...

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...

After a few days to cool off following an epic collapse in negotiations, the league and the union have been in touch with each other in an attempt to restart conversations that could save the hockey season. ...

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 ...

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...

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...

A pair of federal mediators tried to help for two days, but even they couldn't bring the fighting sides closer to a compromise. "After spending several hours with both sides over two days, the pr...

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...
