NHL fan tries to get audience with Bettman, Fehr as labour talks continue
TORONTO – The latest round of NHL collective bargaining talks has brought out more than top league executives and players.
Maple Leafs fan Barry Murphy was camped out at the NHL Players’ Association head office hours before a scheduled negotiating session.
The 29-year-old was hoping to earn an audience with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr to voice a fan’s opinion during the lockout.
He believes both sides have overlooked the paying customers.
The NHLPA was expected to table a counter-proposal during the afternoon bargaining session.
Earlier in the week, the league tabled an offer that would see revenues split 50-50 and would have an 82-game regular season start on Nov. 2.
