NHL cancels another two weeks of season

11:26 am on 11 December 2012

North America's ice hockey league the NHL has cancelled another two weeks of the regular season, wiping out all games through December 30th due to a labour dispute with locked-out players that threatens to wipe out the entire campaign.

The decision, which comes less than a week after labour talks between the NHL and the union representing its players collapsed, brings the total number of lost regular season games to 526, or 42.8 percent of the season.
