With the official cancellation of the NHL preseason, both sides in the hockey lockout need a bit of encouragement to come to a deal.

The We Love Hockey petition, which you can find on the 1310News Facebook page, will be be delivered to the league and the players union.  It’s a non-partisan petition, fueled by fans.

You can also voice your opinion on the lockout on twitter with the hashtag – #welovehockey.

This petition isn’t taking sides – it’s focused in the love of the game, and how we still want to see a season this year.
