NHL, union agree on deal to end lockout -paper

Posted on: Thursday, 7 July 2005, 07:03 CDT

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The National Hockey League and its players' union have agreed in principle a new salary deal which would end a season-long lockout, the Los Angeles Times reported on Thursday.

If the agreement is approved by the 10-strong NHL executive committee on Monday, players would be signed up for the new season, which would begin in early to mid-October, over the following 10 days.

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman locked players out on September 15 after owners and unions reached an impasse over proposed changes to the way the league and clubs' finances were run.
