108: Inside the New CBA: Ron Hainsey Joins 100% Hockey

On this episode of 100% Hockey, John Shannon and Daren Millard are joined by Ron Hainsey, Assistant Executive Director of the NHLPA, to take a closer look at the league’s newly negotiated Collective Bargaining Agreement. Ron explains the process behind the deal, how player voices shaped the outcome, and what the changes mean for both the players and the game moving forward.

The discussion covers everything from revenue-sharing adjustments to player benefits, and of course, the polarizing change to the NHL’s dress code. Ron also shares how involved the NHLPA will be in coordinating player participation at the upcoming Olympic Games, what went on behind closed doors during negotiations, and why communication with players remains the key to making progress.
