National Hockey League Players' Association

The National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA) is the labor union representing professional ice hockey players in the NHL. Its primary role is to advocate for players’ rights, negotiate collective bargaining agreements with the league, and ensure fair wages, benefits, and working conditions. The NHLPA also provides legal support, career development resources, and promotes the welfare of its members. By uniting players, the NHLPA helps maintain a balanced, fair environment in professional hockey and safeguards players' interests both on and off the ice.
