NHL players approved the tentative collective bargaining agreement that was unanimously approved by the league’s board of governors earlier this week.
The official lifting of the league’s lockout will happen when a written Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is completed.
Lawyers for both sides were going through the document line by line and comma by comma during the day. Once both sides agree to the terms and sign the memo, the NHL will release schedules and teams will be free to open training camps on Sunday.
