The NHL eliminated 16 more days from the regular-season schedule Monday, Dec. 10, 2012, and if a deal with the players' association isn't reached soon the whole season could be lost. The league wiped out all games through Dec. 30 in its latest round of cancellations. Negotiations between the league and the players' association broke off last week, but NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said Sunday the sides are trying to restart talks this week.

NEW YORK – NHL training camps will open July 10 if the league and players' union agree to resume the season.

That's still contingent on the two sides figuring out health and safety protocols and the league choosing cities to host the games.

The NHL and NHLPA say camps will also only open July 10 if medical and safety conditions allow.

Setting a start date for camps allows the 17% of players overseas to make arrangements to return in light of quarantine regulations in the U.S. and Canada.

Players were able to start small-group voluntary workouts Monday.

After some exhibitions, playoff games could get underway in late July or early August.
