CHL and PHPA Reach Agreement
The Central Hockey League (CHL) issued a press release on Saturday stating the league's Board of Governors announced that a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) has been reached with the Professional Hockey Players' Association (PHPA) for the 2009-10 season. The ratification by the Board occurred on Monday, September 28th through a conference call and subsequent vote.
"After many months of discussion, we feel we have reached a middle ground that is the basis for building a spirit of cooperation between the CHL and the PHPA," said Duane Lewis, CHL Commissioner. "We have always taken very good care of our players and are pleased that the agreement keeps that framework intact. I would like to thank the CHL owners and players for their continued efforts towards reaching this agreement."
The CHL and PHPA will begin discussing a future CBA in early 2010.
