  • On Wednesday, the NHL’s top executive and the head of the players’ association indicated that collective bargaining negotiations are moving forward positively well before the existing agreement ends in September 2026.

  • The ongoing negotiations and positive tone suggest a stable relationship that could avoid past labor disruptions, though no timeline for a new deal has been set.
