Working people across the United States regularly step up to help out our friends, neighbors and communities during these trying times. In our Service & Solidarity Spotlight series, we’ll showcase one of these stories every day. Here’s today’s story.
The National Hockey League Players’ Association’s (NHLPA’s) full membership and the National Hockey League’s Board of Governors ratified a new four-year contract, the NHLPA announced in a press release on Tuesday.
Hockey continues to be a union sport. The NHLPA and the NHL have reached a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) more than a year before the current CBA was set to expire. The new contract will run through the 2029–30 season.
“This CBA shows what can be accomplished when the NHL and the Union work together—an agreement that will allow for the continued worldwide growth of the game. That is a win for everyone,” said Marty Walsh, NHLPA executive director. “We could not have achieved this outcome without the involvement and support of our players. Special thanks to our executive board and negotiating committee.”
Stay tuned for details on what the hockey players won in their contract.
