The NHL has decided to cancel more games, this time all games through January 14th as negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement continue to sputter. There is speculation that there may be a mid-January deadline set by the league to get a new CBA done or the entire season will be canceled. In total, 625 regular season games, or just over 50% of the schedule has been canceled. The two sides have not met face to face since December 13th when talks with a federal mediator fell apart. The Players continue to say they are ready to meet with the league, but the league has demanded the conditions be right.
