After two days of conference calls and internal meetings, representatives from the NHL and NHLPA reconvened at the NHL office late Tuesday evening to continue CBA discussions.
Representatives from the National Hockey League and National Hockey League Player's Association concluded the most recent round of discussions in the League's New York City office on Tuesday, as both parties attempt to resolve a collective bargaining dispute that has already cancelled much of the season.
The two sides reviewed the owner's nearly 300-page CBA plan, and the counter-proposal offered by the NHLPA on Monday. After two days of conference calls and internal meetings, representatives reconvened at the NHL office late Tuesday evening.
"We are going to start tonight, we'll continue in the morning and we'll be in touch with them in the morning. There is really not anything that can be said at this point," said NHLPA Executive Director Donald Fehr. "We asked a couple of questions and now what we have to do is go through the document, try to make some sense out of it, compare it and see what the appropriate thing is to do next."
NHL Commissioner Gary B. Bettman said following Tuesday's meetings, "There were certain things that the Players' Association asked for that we agreed to, there were some things that we moved in their direction and there were other things that we said no. But, that's part of the process."
Chris Campoli, Jamal Mayers, Ron Hainsey, Rick DiPietro, Shane Doan, and Martin St. Louis, were some of the player's representing the union at Tuesday's negotiations.
The NHL has already cancelled games through January 14th, including the All-Star game in Columbus, and the annual Winter Classic in Detroit. Commissioner Bettman recently said a 48-game schedule would not happen if play does not resume by January 19th.
