NHL Labor Negotiations to Continue
Though neither side claims to be any closer to a new labor agreement, the commissioner of the NHL and the head of the players' association have agreed to continue their current series of talks. The NHL made a new offer last Thursday to the players, but it has not been endorsed. Talks are scheduled to continue into next week.
