Former Seaforth-area NHLers are taking the announcement in stride and are hoping for a quick settlement so they can get back to the game they love - hockey. "Obviously no one wants a work stoppage. The players love the game and they want to play," said Rem Murray who plays forward for the Nashville Predators. "We tried to make as many concessions as we could to bridge the gap between the owners and players, but the owners have shown an unwillingness to negotiate. So, it got to this point I guess," said Murray, during a phone interview from his home near Detriot. Murray. who grew up in Dublin, said that players have offered to cut their existing salaries by five per cent and by scale hack rookie salaries instead of the league's proposed salary cap. "The five per cent would have given them $100 million this year. The rookie scale back would have given them another $60 million." said Murray. The NHL team owners are looking to impose a salary cap on players' wages, an idea the Players Association does not agree with. "The players .are very unified in their stance and what they believe in," said Murray. "If the owners arc going to stand firm on their salary cap then it's just not going .to happen," said Murray. NHL linesman Scott Driscoll, who was born and raised in Seaforth, has thoughts on the lockout he was told by the league not to publically express. But, he said fans should realize both sides have many valid points. "1 just hope they settle as quick as possible," said Driscoll. " 1 t ' s completely out of our hands and it's not the first time I've experienced it." said Driscoll, who was out of work for several months in 1994 when the NHL players were locked out. As of last Thursday. Driscoll and the other 68 members of the NHL's referees union were temporarily laid off and given their record of employment in order to collect unemployment insurance. "They're making sure that the people that have mortgages to pay and young families. can still provide (for them). So it's not like they've totally shunned ,us." said Driscoll. The members of the referee union would also be allowed to be loaned 25 per cent of their base salary that they would retake this year officiating in the NHL. Driscoll said that despite being laid off, he will not try and officiate for minor league games. He said that not getting ready for training camp is a little weird even though he has known there was a possibility of a work stoppage this season. "We've known about it for a number of years and it feels a little different not heading off to (training) camp right now." said Driscoll. who would have left for camp on Sunday. Murray, who now lives near Detroit. said that it does feel a little weird not heading to training camp right now.

"It's obviously disappointing when you feel like you should be playing hockey right now." Although - the NHL training camps would already have started, Murray would have been sitting out the first few months of this season with a neck problem that only allows him to bend his.neck to the left. "It's one of those things that hopefully. over time, will continue to improve," said Murray, who has seen six to seven specialists -from Across Canada and the U.S. since he was diagnosed with cervical dystonia in January. Both Murray and Driscoll admit that no NHL hockey, for the time being, seems a little strange. "It's going to be hard not to watch hockey myself," said Murray, who tunes into games on TV when he's not playing. Driscoll, who lives in .Guelph, said that even though the NHL season is in limbo for right now it's important for hockey fans to realize that there is still hockey being played nearby in London, Kitchener and St. Marys. "There's still hockey out there - it's just not the National Hockey League level," said Murray. Seaforth native Boyd Devereaux, of the Phoenix Coyotes, was not available for comment at presstime.
