Lockout officially over as memorandum of understanding is signed 01.12.13 at 10:32 pm ET
By DJ Bean

The NHL lockout officially ended on Saturday night, with the league and NHLPA signing a memorandum of understanding for the new collective bargaining agreement. The lockout lasted 119 days, though the sides agreed to a new CBA last Sunday, the 113th day of the work stoppage.

The memorandum of understanding essentially seals the agreement between the NHL and NHLPA while the CBA is finalized, allowing the league to proceed with the season without either side changing language in the deal.

Teams are now free to begin training camps, with the season set to begin on Jan. 19.

    Glad to see there’s going to be at least a partial season. I’m not actually much of a hockey fan, but I’ve enjoyed paying attention to how the teams do for a long time, and I’m glad it’s finally back on track. But I still kind of miss the Hartford Whalers, the Quebec Nordiques, and the Minnesota North Stars.
