Fans, media waiting for NHLPA ratification of CBA

Ready for camp to start! You betcha' - Peter Koutroumpis, PKS Consulting LLC

---

The tweets have been flying all morning.

In the instantaneous world of social media, many would have thought that by 8:01 a.m. an announcement would have been made.

It's past 10:30 a.m. and the reality that the actual pace of life doesn't move that fast has been realized.

The National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA) completed its vote as of 8 a.m. to ratify  the new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) that the NHL owners unanimously ratified earlier in the week.

With a vote ratifying the CBA coming from the NHLPA, all that is required for a new NHL season to begin is for a Memorandum of Understanding to be signed by both parties.

That is what everyone is now waiting for, and is expected to take place sometime Saturday.

Once that happens, the league will release the much anticipated playing schedule and training camps around the league will begin as early as Sunday - including in Raleigh.

The wait continues.

What a weekend for pro hockey to return to Raleigh, N.C.

With the recent announcement on Sunday morning that the National Hockey League (NHL) and the National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) came to a tentative agreement to a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), the timing to feature professional hockey in the area couldn't come at better time.

On Sunday the Charlotte Checkers, American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate club of the National Hockey League (NHL) Carolina Hurricanes, play on the big club's home ice surface for the first-ever AHL game played at PNC Arena.

The Checkers (19-11-5), currently in first place in the Western Conference - South Division, host the Norfolk Admirals (14-16-2), occupants of last place in the  Eastern Conference - East Division.

For fans in Raleigh, it will be the first glimpse of professional hockey all season.

Judging by the energy in the building, they have a lot of it to release.
