The NHL and NHL Players’ Association ratified a Return to Play and Collective Bargaining Agreement extension Friday. The NHLPA membership voted 502-135 in favor of ratifying the RTP package and full CBA, according to Frank Servalli of TSN.
The new CBA deal runs through the 2025-26 season, which will ensure labor peace for at least the next six years.
The NHL will move to Phase 3 of its four-part Return to Play plan Monday with formal training camps, and the 24-team tournament restart scheduled to begin Aug. 1 in two hub cities of Edmonton and Toronto.
