2004-05 Season Recap
The 2004-05 NHL lockout resulted in the cancellation of what would have been the 88th season
of the National Hockey League. It was the first time the Stanley Cup was not awarded since 1919, and the first time
a major professional sports league in North America canceled a complete season because of a labor dispute.
The lockout lasted 10 months and 6 days starting September 16, 2004,
the day after the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the NHL and the NHL Players Association (NHLPA)
that resolved the 1994-95 lockout expired.
The negotiating teams reached an agreement on July 13, 2005, and the lockout officially ended 9 days later on July 22,
after both the NHL owners and players ratified the CBA.
