• NHLPA makes first proposal to owners: The National Hockey League Players’ Association had made its first proposal in the latest round of collective bargaining talks with the NHL. The union says its proposal to the league includes a smaller percentage of revenues for players and an expanded revenue sharing program to help struggling teams. Donald Fehr, the executive director of the NHL Players’ Association, said players are set to surrender as much as $465 million in revenue under the proposal if the league continues to grow at an average rate.
