Flames Cancel Rookie Tournament
According to Sportsnet, the NHL has notified the NHLPA that it "wants to modify or terminate the existing collective bargaining agreement," which has led several teams including the Flames to cancel their annual rookie tournament in Penticton, BC because of concerns about another potential work stoppage. The current CBA expires mid-September and one of the main "sticking points" between the league and the player's association is believed to be revenue sharing--meaning the league is likely looking to reduce the amount of the revenue that the players receive. More to come as the story develops.
