Player strike

The National Hockey League is the first professional sports league to lose an entire season to player strike. The entire 2005 season came and went without a puck being dropped after the league locked out players. Major League Baseball lost almost half a season to a player strike in 1981. The NFL hired replacement players to fill-in for striking players in 1987. The NBA was locked out in 1998.
