#NHL 2004 REBUILT 2016 PROFESSIONAL#
Among the major professional sports leagues in North America, this was the first (and so far only) time a whole season was canceled because of a labor dispute, and the second time a postseason was canceled (after the 1994–95 MLB strike). As a result, the Stanley Cup was not awarded, for the first time since 1919. The lockout had lasted 10 months and 6 days, covering 1,230 unplayed games. The resulting CBA included both a salary cap and revenue sharing. The NHL and NHLPA negotiating teams finally reached an agreement on July 13, 2005, with the lockout officially ending 9 days later on July 22, after ratification by the NHL team owners and NHLPA members. During the lockout, further attempts to negotiate a new CBA floundered, with neither side willing to back down, leading to the entire season being canceled in February 2005.
The lockout was initiated on September 16, 2004, one day after the expiration of the existing collective bargaining agreement (CBA), which itself had been the result of the 1994–95 lockout. This was opposed by the NHL Players Association (NHLPA), the players' labor union, who proposed an alternative system of revenue sharing.Īttempts at collective bargaining before the season began were unsuccessful. The main dispute was the league's desire to implement a salary cap to limit expenditure on player salaries. The 2004–05 NHL lockout was a labor lockout that resulted in the cancellation of the National Hockey League (NHL) season, which would have been its 88th season of play.
