is hockey (NHL) back???
There are some reports that there is a scheduled meeting Saturday between owners and players. Initial reports claim they have agreed on a salary cap of $45 million. It looks like there is a small, small chance, there just might be a season after all. I hope so, the NHL is a very entertaining sport.
Kevin.

1. Season officially cancelled
but they'll hold more talks.

Maybe for next year...it's almost March

Unless they want to take it into August....

I need my hockey. Although the Gannon saga is pretty entertaining too.

4. link
'Not dead yet' appears to be a possibility (I hope, I am a fan, and trying to be optimistic).

I think they would only come to an agreement now if there was a chance to still play this season.

Kevin.

6. Still some hope
I like to see some sort of season for the die hard fans. Believe it or not, there are still some fans of the NHL left.
