League cancels November games with no deal in sight Oct 26th 2012, 19:03 Fri Oct 26, 2012 2:22pm EDT (Reuters) - The National Hockey League (NHL) on Friday cancelled all regular-season games scheduled up to November 30 because of the ongoing labor dispute with players and the absence of a new collective bargaining agreement. The regular-season was originally set to start on October 11 and a week ago the league scrapped all games up until November 1 because of the lockout. "The National Hockey League deeply regrets having to take this action," NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said in a statement. "By presenting a proposal to the NHLPA (players' union) 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." A total of 326 regular-season games - 26.5 percent of the season - had been scheduled for October 11 through November 30.
