The NHL and NHL Players’ Association ratified their extension of the collective bargaining agreement, securing labor peace in the sport through 2030.

The league and union announced in a joint news release Tuesday that the deal had been approved. It took a vote of the Board of Governors and the full NHLPA membership.

The sides came to a tentative agreement on the four-year extension late last month. Among other things, it includes an 84-game regular season with less exhibition play, shorter maximum contract lengths, a playoff salary cap, no mandatory dress code for players and the creation of a full-time traveling goaltender position to eliminate the practice of emergency backup goalies, or “EBUGs,” from entering games.

That and the other changes don’t go into effect until the 2026-27 season.

Reaching an agreement so quickly after negotiations began in April is the latest example of the cooperation between the NHL and NHLPA that produced the 4 Nations Face-Off earlier this year and paved the way for the return of Olympic participation in 2026 and ’30. Bettman and Walsh independently had said there were no major issues getting in the way of a CBA extension.

The cap that started at $39 million is now $95.5 million for next season, with bigger jumps ahead to reach $113.5 million in 2027-28. Record attendance and revenues are responsible for these increases and play a role in why owners and players wanted no part of another work stoppage because of the general agreement that business is booming and the game is heading in a positive direction.
