TORONTO (NEWS1130) – It’s the news hockey fans have been waiting to hear.
NHL players have voted in favour of ratifying the collective bargaining agreement that was reached last weekend.
A union statement made it clear that a written memorandum of understanding consistent with what the players voted on must be completed before the CBA becomes final.
The NHLPA and the NHL continue their work to finalize the memorandum.
When completed, it will clear the way for training camps to open Sunday and a 48-game regular season to begin next Saturday.
The 36-hour electronic voting process for the 700-plus players ended this morning.
