NHL Strike Could Be Over By Jan 15th

From The New York Times:

The N.H.L board of governors was expected to meet in New York by Tuesday to vote on the deal ahead of a hoped-for start of training camps on Wednesday. Players are also expected to ratify the agreement. Under the quickest timetable, play could begin by Jan. 15. But ratifications, paperwork and the players’ desire to have one exhibition game could push that date back.
