With Negotiations Stalled, N.H.L. Cancels All November Games The N.H.L. canceled its entire November schedule Friday, the 41st day of the lockout, eliminating another 191 games. Since the season was supposed to start on Oct. 11, the league has lost 326 games - about 22 per team, or 26.5 percent of the regular season. The cancellations took place one day after the expiration of a league deadline for preserving a full 82-game schedule. Donald Fehr, executive director of the players" association, said the league had withdrawn its most recent offer for a new collective bargaining agreement, another complication in stalled negotiations. "This is deeply disappointing for all hockey fans and everyone who makes their living from hockey, including the players," Fehr said in a statement. But it comes as no surprise. The owners" proposal included a 50-50 revenue split with players, down from the 57 percent players received under the old collective bargaining agreement, which expired Sept. The players" association rejected the offer last week because, the union's leader, Donald Fehr, said, it did not guarantee the full value of current contracts. Three counterproposals from the union were dismissed by the league because, Commissioner Gary Bettman said, they either took several years to reach a 50-50 revenue split or did not genuinely offer a 50-50 split. The sides have not met since Oct. 17, and several union attempts to resume negotiations in recent days were turned down by the league. "The message from the owners seems to be: if you don't give us exactly what we want, there is no point in talking," Fehr said. They have shown they are very good at delivering deadlines and demands, but we need a willing partner to negotiate. We hope they return to the table in order to get the players back on the ice soon. Bill Daly, the deputy commissioner, said in a statement: "We acknowledge and accept that there is joint responsibility in collective bargaining and, though we are profoundly disappointed that a new agreement has not been attained to this point, we remain committed to achieving an agreement that is fair for the players and the clubs - one that will be good for the game and our fans." Among the games canceled Friday was the Rangers" matinee at Boston on Friday, Nov. 23, which would have kicked off NBC's N.H.L. telecast schedule. The Jan. 1 Winter Classic, the most important regular-season game on the schedule, is now in jeopardy. This season's Classic, between the Detroit Red Wings and the Toronto Maple Leafs, is expected to draw about 115,000 fans to Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor. "The National Hockey League deeply regrets having to take this action," Daly said. By presenting a proposal to the N.H.L.P.A. that contemplated a fair division of revenues and was responsive to player concerns regarding the value of their contracts, we had hoped to be able to forge a long-term collective bargaining agreement that would have preserved an 82-game regular season for our fans. Unfortunately, that did not occur.
