		The first was a strike by the National Hockey League Players Association in April 1992 which lasted for 10 days, but the strike was settled quickly and all affected games were rescheduled.

	"Applause from Canadian media for American hockey writers"
		The Death of Hockey (or: How a bunch of guys with too much money and too little sense are killing the greatest game on earth) lambastes the NHL for ignoring hockey's rich heritage, its almost mythic traditions and immense legacy of heroes, stories and amazing anecdotes.
		Klein and Reif expose many other league screw-ups, including permitting the demolition of rickety-but-venerable hockey cathedrals such as the Montreal Forum, Boston Garden and Detroit Olympia -- buildings with the kind of ambiance that can't be manufactured on demand -- in the name of luxury corporate skyboxes for the very few who can afford them.
		What's really wrong, contend Klein and Reif, is the league's callous disregard for its own game: tolerating oversized goalie equipment, slack officiating, needless fireworks, cloying mascots, hideous uniforms, goofy team names; allowing true rivalries to fall by the wayside -- trends that have erected an "invisible wall" between the fans and the game they love.
