	NHL Players Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The National Hockey League Players Association or NHLPA is a labour union that represents the interests of the hockey players in the National Hockey League of North America.
		The association formed in June 1967, when representatives of the six NHL teams met and elected Bob Pulford their first president and appointed Alan Eagleson as its executive director.
		Additionally, the players sought guarantees that no member of the new union would be punished for being a member.

		Trapped in their own stubborn ways, leaders of both the National Hockey League and the NHL Players Association appear to be playing a dangerous game of chicken where nobody is going to blink before the thunderous head-on collision.
		The logic is that for the average salary of $1.79 million, a player performs, or he goes to the minors and plays for, say, 10 percent of that.
		Of course, the players didn't sign themselves and that is precisely the position of the Players Association.

	ESPN.com - OLY - NHL, players' association insist on uniform testing

		NHL officials fear hockey players will be subject to a patchwork of sometimes multiple drug tests – or none at all – by different agencies.
		Daly said NHL players would be distracted during the playoffs if they had to submit to the anxiety or embarrassment of taking or failing Olympic drug tests.

		TORONTO -- The NHL players' association offered an immediate 24 percent rollback of salaries Thursday as the centerpiece of a proposal handed to the league in an effort to end the season-long lockout.
		The salary rollback would change the dynamic for unsigned players, who would work out new deals based on the adjusted salary figures of comparable players and not on the value of their original contracts.

		Player agent Ritch Winter said if the owners refuse to budge, hockey won't be played "for a long, long time." He said he does not think the owners have paid enough attention to the framework of the players' most recent proposal and don't understand it.
		The NHL rejected it because the league says that won't achieve "cost certainty" - a term the players say is tantamount to a salary cap.
