I have to admit that I am green-obsessed and was happy to hear that the NHL Players’ Association was getting on board to do their part in helping the environment. They are getting a little help from David Suzuki, though. I swear, that man’s voice is in my head all day every day so I […]
Wow… to say that Trevor Linden and Chris Chelios don’t like each other is an understatement! All I know is that I never want to upset Chelios since he can really hold a grudge… Read this!
Eleven years ago, when the Vancouver Canucks beat the Chicago Blackhawks 2-1 in overtime, Trevor Linden got into […]
Paul Kelly will be officially announced as the new executive director of the NHL Players’ Association at a press conference later today. The 30 player representatives (one from each team) elected him in a secret ballot. The former director, Ted Saskin was removed back in May after he was accused of monitoring players’ […]
*sigh* More salary cap stuff… I’m going to be honest - I don’t completely understand this but here’s the story anyway:
Player paycheques will be 9.5 per cent smaller during the first quarter of the 2007-08 NHL season, but that money could find its way back later on depending on the league’s bottom line.
The money withheld […]
Ugh. I know some of you may actually like Scotiabank but some of my worst memories come from my days of dealing with them. One time, they lost my student loan documents and wanted me to write a letter to the government saying that I lost them. Yeah, if you’d seen the […]
The past few years have not been good ones for the National Hockey League Players Association. First, it lost a bitter battle against the owners over a new collective bargaining agreement, which saw the league shut down for a year before the players finally conceded defeat. Then, the NHLPA bungled the job of replacing executive […]
A bunch of interesting items from the hockey world - aside from the Anaheim Ducks holding a 3-1 edge over the Ottawa Senators in the Stanley Cup final.
1. The scandal-plagued NHLPA plans to meet with a couple of sports union heavyweights in Toronto this week: Major League Baseball Player Association’s Donald Fehr, MLBPA legal counsel […]
While Chris Chelios is getting awful of credit for his role in the demise of ex-NHLPA head Ted Saskin, it would be wrong to overlook the role played by Trent Klatt, who was among the first players to question the hiring process after Saskin was anointed Bob Goodenow’s successor two years ago. It was Klatt […]
Ted Saskin’s short and story reign as head of the NHL Players Association finally came to an abrupt end yesterday when he was hired “for cause” after a 22-0 vote by player representatives. Since he was hired 10 months ago, Saskin has been engulfed in controversy that started with a flawed hiring process and ended […]
As the Saskin controversy continues to unfold, keep an eye out for Sheila Block to raise some serious questions about NHLPA practices. Following Saskin’s placement on paid leave, Block may be on the hunt to find enough reason to recommend his firing with cause. While noting in an earlier post that it was time […]
