Junior NHL Players, Hamilton Bulldogs, Olympics and More
So, the NFL settled its dispute with its referees at midnight last night after a few days of intense bargaining sessions.
In fact, mere days earlier one session lasted until 2 am.
Never mind ending this lockout — at least the NHL and NHLPA could stay up late.

Detroit Red Wings Fined, Boogard's Family, Habs Prospects and More
Obviously, this Sunday would be even more glorious if we could be talking about training camps and some hot-shot rookie making a name for himself.

Louis Moustakas on CKCU's Red Zone - September 21st 2012
As always, it was a blast chatting hockey with them, although it was a tad unfortunate that so much time was dedicated to dissecting the current lockout. I think we would have much rather been discussing the pre-season prospects of the Montreal...

Many predicted this would happen, but few actually took steps and precautions in case the premonitions became reality.
I, however, was one of them.
You see, I am a simple man who likes simple things in life.
I enjoy long...

NHL and NHLPA Trade Offers, Subban to Flyers?, Alexei Emelin, and More
Yesterday, the NHL and NHLPA exchanged proposals, which, I must admit, I took as a positive sign.

This summer, most of these teams have been very quiet on the free agent market as well as on the trade front....Impending Lockout, Tyler Seguin, Wayne Gretzky and More
Only four more days until the CBA, negotiated by way of a lockout in 2004-05, expires and leads, presumably, to another lockout.
The general reaction from fans and media has been "I can't believe this could happen again".
