NHL: National Hockey League owners are meeting today to vote on the new collective bargaining agreement. If the majority votes in favor of the proposal, it’s one step closer to finally beginning the season. Players have been locked out since September.

Meanwhile, Nashville Predators coach Barry Trotz says the lock out shortened season will feel like Groundhog Day for players once the season begins, because of the constant travel and play. Trotz added shame on anyone not ready to go for the season because the league has had plenty of time to prepare. If all goes as planned with the new collective bargaining agreement, the season is expected to start January 19^th.
