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...

Living in Los Angeles, Chase believed the league had squandered all the goodwill built in the area after the Kings won the Stanley Cup. His weekly pickup games with friends became his only taste of the sport he loved because of the ongoing labor strife...

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. ...

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...

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...

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...

Instead, like the NFL in 2011 and the NBA last season, the NHL is mired in a labor dispute, with the owners locking out the players and — so far — wiping out more than two months of the season. In question-and-answer form, here's a look at where things stand: ...

Hall tried to get in his question while Bettman was responding to media members outside the league's Manhattan office. When th...

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...

Just over a week since the last set of failed negotiations, the NHL and the locked-out players' association will return to the bargaining table Monday. Conversations that restarted Friday between NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly and NHLPA special counsel Steve Fehr produced enough positive movement Saturday t...

The negotiations have not. One step at a time in the roller-coaster ride that holds the hockey season in the balance. A day after NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman suggested to players' association chief Donald Fehr that the sides take a two-week break from seemingly fruitless ba...

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...
