NHL talks stall, lockout looms

NATIONAL Hockey League officials and NHL Players Association representatives met for less than two hours on Friday before adjourning contract talks aimed at preventing a work stoppage.

No further negotiating sessions were scheduled, although both sides said talks could be re-started at any time. The parties were meeting for the third time in four days, with the current collective bargaining agreement due to expire on September 15. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has said the league will lock out players if no new deal is struck by then. That would jeopardize the scheduled October start of the 2012-2013 campaign.
