This could be really bad news for the NHL...
"Paul Kelly is out as executive director of the NHL Players Association. The union announced at its annual meeting Monday that its executive board voted "overwhelmingly" to remove Kelly. The executive board is made up of one player from each of the 30 teams. Kelly held the job for less than two years. The NHLPA didn't give a reason, saying that after a review of the "overall operation of the NHLPA, it was decided that Paul Kelly should no longer continue to serve as executive director." The union said it would immediately form a committee to find a replacement (Sportsline)."
At first when I read this I thought maybe Kelly really fucked up (he is a Needham guy), but as I have read more sites it sounds like this could be a much larger problem. There are rumors going around now that the NHLPA is going to dig in their heels and really fight for a better bargaining agreement (which is coming up soon). This could lead to another lockout, so keep an eye on who they pick to replace and what that means for the next bargaining agreement...
