This is a tragedy for the players. Their careers are short and this is money and opportunity they'll never get back.
Gary BettmanMy message to the kids and our fans is hockey's a great game. There's a lot of hockey being played at all levels. Get involved, do it. We will be back and we will be back better than ever and hopefully as soon as possible. Don't give up on the game. It's too good.
Gary BettmanIt takes two sides to make a deal, two sides to negotiate and two sides to make it go bad.
