1994-95 NHL lockout

Information about 1994-95 NHL lockout

The 1994-95 NHL lockout came after a year of NHL hockey that was played without a collective bargaining agreement. This 104 day lockout stretched from October 1, 1994 to January 11, 1995. A total of 468 games were lost due to the lockout, along with the All-Star Game. Much like the 2004-05 NHL lockout, the big issue was the implementation of a salary cap. The NHL owners were strongly in favor of the cap while the players were opposed to it.

Going into the negotiations both the players and the owners agreed on one big issue, the small market franchises. The league wanted to tie salaries to revenue in order to subsidize the operation of weaker teams while the NHLPA sought revenue sharing to help the smaller market teams. However, large market teams such as Toronto, Detroit, the New York Rangers, Dallas, and Philadelphia eventually broke with the league, as they feared that an extended lockout would outweigh the benefits from getting a salary cap.

The lockout ended on January 11, 1995. This caused the league to shorten its season to 48 games from 84 the year before. During the lockout the NHL and NHLPA agreed to shorten the season to 82 games. San Jose, which was to host the All-Star game that year, was awarded the 1997 game instead.
