Fehr officially takes over NHLPA: Donald Fehr, the new executive director of the NHL Players’ Association, anticipates that negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement will commence no later than the spring of 2012. Fehr was the MLBPA boss until last year, and had been helping the NHLPA as an unpaid consultant. “Nobody in the world knows more about the labour business in sports,” Boston Bruins player representative Mark Stuart told NESN. “[Fehr] did a great job in baseball and I think we’re lucky to have him on our side.”
