Strange. I checked this article out and it said the WHA couldn't sign players and would be planning on releasing a statement Friday to cancel the season and start again sometime in the future. Then I checked the same link/article again half an hour later and Slam changed it now claiming that the reports of the league's death were "premature". Geez was it just a false alarm or were they just trying to outscoop everyone??? Wasn't sure if the thread I originally started would remain or be locked so I decided to delete it and repost this info here since it seems things are again unclear at this point!

-Edit-

From Sportsnet:

Sportsnet has learned the World Hockey Association will announce Friday its intention to suspend operations until next season. The decision came down following meetings in Toronto this past weekend. The WHA had hoped to fill the void left in the wake of the NHL lockout, but alas, no.

Guess we'll find out what the story is tommorow.

An update on their website! Sort of.

Hockey fans will soon be able to vote for the top 25 WHA Players of All-Time. Fans will be able to vote on our site from a list of over 70 candidates.


It's coming soon... how unsuprizing.

For there to be a 'next' season, there has to be a 'first' season.

Maybe it's time to close the WHA board as well for a season?
