NHL Announces Cancellation of 2012-13 Regular-Season Schedule Through December 30

The National Hockey League announced today the cancellation of the 2012-13 regular-season schedule through December 30. The cancellations are necessary due to the absence of a new Collective Bargaining Agreement between the NHL Players' Association and the NHL.

A total of 526 regular-season games — 42.8 percent of the season — were scheduled for October 11 through December 30.
