TORONTO – Its kind of like Groundhog Day for players across the National Hockey League. Brandon Spikes Elite Jersey . Locked out of their jobs since early Sunday morning, the annual gear-up to training camp across North America has instead been replaced with more of the same, a frustrating and seemingly endless batch of off-season training. "Ive got to admit to you," Leafs player representative Dave Steckel told TSN.ca by phone from Columbus, Ohio earlier this week, "its getting pretty old working out and skating every day with no end in sight. "It just makes for a longer summer in general and to be honest, weve already had a long enough one in Toronto." Its at this point in September that the real itch for competition typically returns, players thirsty for a trip back to the game they cherish. But with the maddening prospect of yet another work stoppage under Gary Bettmans watch upon them, they face what looms as a largely uncertain future. September 15th, the date of expiration for the last collective bargaining agreement, was portrayed by Bettman and the league as a significant day, citing ensuing damage to "the game and to the business of the game". But for players like Steckel, September 21st is the real date that matters, the Friday when training camps across the league are officially supposed to begin. If and when that day comes to pass with no deal still in place, a jolt of reality is likely to hit with the threat of missing games a near certainty. "The best way that Im going to approach it is to go week by week," said Steckel. "I think thats honestly the only way you can do it." European leagues have already attracted a number of NHL players with the total growing by the day. Steckel has an eye toward competition overseas, but plans to stick around this continent until November, hopeful an agreement can be reached before that point. "I know guys have already signed over there, but going to Europe becomes a more realistic option as the weeks go by, at least for me anyways," he said. "Im still hoping that were going to reach an agreement here in the near future. I dont think its too far off for anybody to ask and commit to. I think at this point, its just day by day, week by week, prepare like theres going to be a season next week." After participating in the Players Association meetings in New York last week, Steckel is back with his wife and daughter at his summer home in the Buckeye State. He continues to skate daily with a group of players (including NHLers) at the OhioHealth Ice Haus, completing each day with a workout at the gym of his old stomping grounds, the Ohio State University. As player rep for the Leafs, its his job to ensure that communication from the Players Association reaches each and every one of his teammates, making for what should be at the very least, a well-informed opposition to Bettman and the owners. For now, he and other unemployed peers across the league will continue to skate, continue to train, effectively studying for a test that may not come any time soon. "Thats a good analogy," Steckel concluded with what humour he could manage, "couldnt have said it better myself." Tom Brady Official Jersey .R. Rob Gronkowski Jersey .C. -- Top-ranked LPGA Tour golfer Yani Tseng will play in the CN Canadian Womens Open. http://www.newenglandpatriotsgears.com/tom-brady-jersey/ . - Few people thought the Vancouver Whitecaps had a chance of pulling off an upset. Tom Brady Youth Jersey . - The San Jose Sharks have hired Jim Johnson as an assistant coach in the latest move to reshape Todd McLellans staff. Vince Wilfork Authentic Jersey . Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman told the Chicago Tribune on Monday that while he doesnt like to address rumours, Quenneville - who is under contract through the 2013-14 seaosn - would be returning to the club next season. The Tribune reports that Quenneville had disagreements with management during the season, when director of player development Barry Smith was on the ice with the team working on their struggling power play. SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador -- Michael Stephens scored in the 80th minute goal to help the Los Angeles Galaxy beat Isidro Metapan 3-2 on Thursday night in the last group match in the CONCACAF Champions League. Jack McBean gave the MLS team a 1-0 lead in the first half with a header, but El Salvadors Isidro Metapan responded in the second half with Paolo Suarez goal in the 54th-minute. McBean scored again 7 minutes later, and El Salvadors Nicollas Munoz quickly countered on a free kick to tie it at 2-2. Brandon Spikes Womens Jersey. Los Angeles played without stars David Beckham and Robbie Keane. As the fourth seed, Galaxy will play Costa Ricas Herediano in the quarterfinals that begin in March. Los Angeles, which had already wrapped up a quarterfinal spot, finished 3-0-1 in the three-team group. The Puerto Rico Islanders were second at 1-2-1, and Isidro Metapan was last at 1-3-0. ' ' ' |
