Deputy Commissioner Hopes Talks Will Resume

Jul 21, 2014 11:45 PM

The NHL and NHLPA were back in the same room Monday, but it was not to resume labor talks, according to an ESPN.com report.

Instead, they had a previously scheduled meeting dealing with hashing out last season's revenue numbers.

When they came out of the four-hour meeting, there still wasn't any official plan to resume bargaining talks.

"No bargaining scheduled, but we have kept in close contact," deputy commissioner Bill Daly told a handful of media. "It's fair to say both sides are working, but they're working internally right now."

Derek Boogaard's Parents Seeking $9.8M From Union

Aug 27, 2014 11:18 AM

The NHLPA says it hasn't seen a lawsuit reportedly filed by the parents of the late Derek Boogaard seeking $9.8M from the union.

TMZ reported Friday that Boogaard's family is suing to collect the $4.8M remaining on the contract for their son, who died last year, and an additional $5M in punitive damages.

The suit says the players' association failed to take proper steps to help them receive the money left on Boogaard's deal with the Rangers when he died May 13, 2011, from a mixture of drugs and alcohol.
