North American Hockey League ECHL postpones 13 matches due to player strike

The North American East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) was forced to suspend the season due to a strike by hockey players, TSN reports.

13 regular-season games were postponed after the hockey union called a general strike. The union is demanding changes to the collective agreement on a number of points, such as travel arrangements, holiday breaks, guaranteed contracts, salary caps and off-season health insurance.

“Our members are simply seeking reasonable improvements that will allow them to work safely and earn a living while continuing to perform well. Despite the union’s repeated attempts to meet and begin negotiations, the league continues to communicate directly with players, bypassing the union’s role as the exclusive negotiator, said Brian Ramsey, executive director of the Professional Hockey Players Association.

The ECHL has 30 teams, 29 of which are based in the United States and one in Canada. The league is considered the third strongest in North America after the NHL and AHL.

Hockey player Krizhinki was hospitalized after the match after losing consciousness

A terrible situation occurred in the middle of the first period of the ongoing Ukrainian hockey championship match between Sokol and Krizhinka Capitals at the ATEK ice rink in Kiev. Krizhinka’s 27-year-old forward Vasily-Yuriy Kachan lost consciousness while on the bench.

Sokol doctor Elizaveta Khimich was the first to help the hockey player, who started this season in Sokol and was a two-time Ukrainian champion with this team. He was later joined by representatives of the ambulance team. At these moments, players, coaches and team staff looked very scared. Yuri’s beloved Elizaveta Ustinina, herself a former hockey player, watched the events in tears.

As a result, Kachan was conscious when he was carried on a stretcher to the ambulance.

We wish Yuri a speedy recovery.

After the first period, Sokol closed the match ahead 1-0. Denis Zherebko scored the only goal.
