NHL Cancels Games Through November

NEW YORK (AP) - The NHL has canceled all its games through the end of November because of the labor dispute between owners and players.

The league made the announcement on Friday in a brief statement.

It said that a total of 326 regular-season games, more than 26.5 percent of the season, were scheduled for Oct. 11 through Nov. 30.

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman already painted a pessimistic picture on Wednesday, saying it was unlikely that a new collective bargaining agreement would be reached to allow the NHL to play a condensed 82-game schedule starting on Nov. 2.
