In an announcement that came in the pre-dawn hours of Sunday, the NHL and the NHLPA have announced they have reached a deal on the framework for a new CBA. This should mean the NHL's deadline to begin training camps by January 11th, and starting the season by January 19th, should be met.
"We have to dot a lot of I's and cross a lot of T's," stated NHL Commissioner Gray Bettman. "There is still a lot of work to be done, but the basic framework has been agreed upon."
Bettman also offered thanks to the US Federal mediators who assisted in the negotiating process.
In order for the CBA to take effect, it must first be written and pass a vote by the NHL Board of Governors. It then must go to the players for a ratification vote.
More information about the 2012-2013 modified schedule will be released at a later date.
