History

Historical Context

The 2004 NHL lockout began on September 16, leading to the cancellation of the entire 2004-05 season, the first time since 1919 that the Stanley Cup was not awarded. The dispute, driven by disagreements over a new collective bargaining agreement, resulted in a $2 billion revenue loss and prompted significant changes, including the introduction of a salary cap, reshaping the league's financial landscape.
