The Central Hockey League has recently agreed to meet PHPA representatives in Denver, CO on Wednesday, October 8th and Thursday, October 9th in an effort to advance collective bargaining negotiations.

This action comes after the League’s meaningless deadlines, broken promises, and hollow resources, which have all contributed to unproductive collective bargaining.

The ECHL and its member teams mourn the loss and express their condolences to the family and friends of Florida Everblades co-owner Thomas Thewes, who died Sunday at the age of 76 following a two-year battle with Leukemia.
