In 2004, the collective bargaining agreement between the NHL and the NHL Players' Association expired. The league was determined that it would not open the 2004/2005 season without a new CBA in place. When hard negotiations, plus a lot of animosity on both sides, failed to get an agreement, the season was delayed and finally cancelled completely in the winter of 2005. The two sides finally reached an agreement later in 2005.
