Rem .Murray, Scott Driscoll hope
players' lockout quickly settled
By Jason Middleton
Expositor Staff
This year's National
Hockey League (NHL)
season was put
in limbo last
week with an
announcement
from the
league that a
divide
between the
Players
Association
and team
owners had
led to a
players'
lockout.
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 gives you an itch around
the end of August to get ready
for training camp and get
excited about playing again,"
said Murray. "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.
