Newmont (TSX:NGT,NYSE:NEM,ASX:NEM) is preparing to withdraw from the TSX, the latest in a string of moves to streamline operations and rein in costs following its US$15 billion takeover of Newcrest Mining in 2023.

The Denver-based miner said on Wednesday (September 10) that it has applied for a voluntary delisting of its common shares from the TSX, effective at the close of trading on September 24.

The company cited “low trading volumes” on the Canadian exchange, and said the decision is expected to “improve administrative efficiency and reduce costs for the benefit of Newmont’s shareholders.”

Newmont’s shares will continue to trade on the NYSE, where it maintains its primary listing, as well as on the ASX and the Papua New Guinea Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol NEM.

Rising costs and restructuring plans

Newmont’s all-in sustaining costs reached record levels earlier this year, eroding profits even as bullion prices hit all-time highs above US$3,500 per ounce in April and remained above US$3,300 through most of the summer.

The company has acknowledged that its cost base has outpaced peers.

In the second quarter, Newmont’s costs were nearly 25 percent higher than those of Agnico Eagle Mines (TSX:AEM,NYSE:AEM), a Canadian rival considered one of the industry’s leanest producers.

Newmont’s costs have risen more than 50 percent over the past five years, driven by higher energy, labor and material prices, as well as integration expenses tied to Newcrest’s operations.

CEO Tom Palmer told investors in July that Newmont was pursuing additional measures to lower its expenses.

Behind the scenes, Newmont has been preparing for more aggressive measures.

People familiar with the matter told Bloomberg News that management has set an internal target to lower costs by as much as US$300 per ounce, or roughly 20 percent. Meeting that benchmark could require thousands of layoffs across the company’s global workforce of about 22,000, excluding contractors.

While Newmont has not disclosed the scope of planned reductions, some employees have already been informed of redundancies, according to the report. Managers have also been briefed on potential curbs to long-term incentive programs as part of a broader restructuring. A company spokesperson confirmed earlier this year that Newmont launched a cost and productivity improvement program in February.

Alongside cost cutting, Newmont has moved to divest non-core assets acquired in the Newcrest deal.

Since late 2024, the company has sold multiple Canadian operations: the Eleonore mine for about US$795 million, the Musselwhite mine in Ontario for US$850 million and its stake in the Porcupine operations for US$425 million.

The asset sales are intended not only to cut debt at the company, but also to sharpen its focus on higher-margin operations, particularly in North America and Australia.

Despite higher costs, Newmont shares have surged 95 percent this year; the company also announced a US$3 billion share repurchase program in July.

Prismo Metals Identifies Porphyry Style Mineralization at Silver King

(TheNewswire)

Vancouver, British Columbia TheNewswire – September 15th, 2025 Prismo Metals Inc. (the ‘ Company ‘ ) (CSE: PRIZ,OTC:PMOMF) (OTCQB: PMOMF) is pleased to report that its exploration team has identified porphyry style mineralization at its Silver King project located outside the town of Superior in Arizona. Given the proximity of the nearby Resolution Copper deposit (a joint venture between Rio Tinto and BHP), the team is excited about the potential of this same style of mineralization identified at surface within the eastern portion of our claim.

‘ This region is world-class for porphyry systems and base and precious metals, and we believe there is significant untapped potential. Our recent field work at the Silver King mine was successful in identifying several exploration targets apart from the historic silver mine deposit including polymetallic veins, manto replacements and a strongly altered intrusion with stockwork quartz-pyrite veining. Identifying this porphyry style mineralization on the claim block is a very positive development ,’ said Dr. Craig Gibson , Chief Exploration Officer.

Figure 1 . Map showing Silver King project and nearby mineral deposits.

The Silver King deposit is located three kilometers from the Resolution Copper deposit and the high-grade Magma mine, a former copper and silver producer, located 0.6 to 1.5 kilometers to the southwest Mineralization at Silver King is hosted by the same rock sequence that hosts those two deposits but is exposed at surface and is not covered by the thick sequence of unmineralized volcanic rocks that covers Resolution Copper. From 1911 to 1996 the Magma mine was developed on veins and replacement deposits in the Paleozoic and Precambrian strata and intrusive rocks, producing approximately 27.6 million short tons of ore averaging about 4.9% copper with important quantities of zinc, gold (689K oz) and silver (34.3M oz) (Briggs, 2015), eventually leading to the discovery of the nearby Resolution copper deposit (Fig. 1).

M ineralization similar to that at the Magma mine is exposed in several historic mine workings with abundant oxide copper minerals, mainly malachite, which were developed along a northeast dipping limestone horizon near the contact with a quartz diorite intrusion and quartzite along the same structural and stratigraphic trend of the Magma mine. The largest occurrence, at the Black Diamond mine in the eastern portion of the claim block, was developed on a large outcrop of abundant specular hematite and malachite replacing a limestone bed (Fig. 2) .

Additionally, an erosional window in a regional quartz diorite has exposed a felsic intrusion to the east of the Silver King workings that was identified in historical records and now confirmed by Prismo geologists. This felsic intrusion, previously described as a breccia pipe, is characterized by very strong stockwork quartz-pyrite veining in a quartz-sericite altered host rock. This target contains anomalous metal values in soil samples analyzed with the XRF. According to historical reports it has high salinity fluid inclusions typical of a porphyry system, providing evidence for porphyry mineralization on the Silver King claim package.

‘Much of the focus of the exploration program to date consisted of a property wide survey of historic mines and prospects surrounding the Silver King workings, ‘ said Gordon Aldcorn, President of Prismo .

‘ The exploration work has resulted in the identification of several mineralized occurrences on the property, including veins in the vicinity of the Silver King mine, and replacement and skarn mineralization in limestone units of the sedimentary sequence near the contact.’

Part of the initial exploration program consisted of a reconnaissance survey of the geology and mineral occurrences as well as a geochemical and alteration mineral survey around the surface expression of the Silver King deposit and a second separate target to the east.

The geochemical survey used a handheld XRF instrument to measure soil samples, and showed discrete anomalies for Cu, Ag, and Sb around the historic glory hole, with the copper geochemistry also associated with the ENE striking Cu bearing vein mentioned previously (Fig. 3). Twenty-nine samples have been submitted to the lab, with an additional fifteen samples from the Ripsey mine.

This initial phase of Prismo exploration on the Silver King project is already generating a better understanding of potential with new structures not fully uncovered in historical mining approaches. This work also helps qualify our upcoming drill program which is currently in the permitting stage and is anticipated to be advanced shortly.

As previously reported in Primo’s news release of August 28, 2025, the Company geologists identified two previously undescribed veins in the area surrounding the historic glory hole developed on the original exposure of high-grade silver at the Silver King deposit. Visual inspection and analysis with a handheld XRF show two distinct veins, one with abundant silver lead and zinc and the other with copper and silver values.

About the Silver King and Ripsey Mines

Discovered in 1875, the Silver King mine was one of Arizona’s most important historic producers, yielding nearly 6 million ounces of silver at grades of up to 61 oz/t. The Silver King mine sits only 3 km from the main shaft of the Resolution Copper project — a joint venture between Rio Tinto and BHP and one of the world’s largest unmined copper deposits with an estimated copper resource of 1.787 billion metric tonnes at an average grade of 1.5% copper (1) . The unique land position is fully surrounded by Resolution Copper’s claim block, offering strategic upside. Selected samples from small-scale production in the late 1990s returned grades as high as 644 oz/t silver (18,250 g/t) and 0.53 oz/t gold (15 g/t), indicating that high-grade mineralization remains.

The Ripsey mine is a historic gold-silver-copper producer located about 20 km west of the Hot Breccia project. Historic mine workings consisting of tunnels and shafts on several levels were developed along a vein over about 400 meters of strike length and 160 meters vertically. A small tonnage of mineral was produced by the Optionor in the late 1990’s. Limited sampling by Dr. Craig Gibson from the mine workings has yielded 15.9 g/t gold and 275 g/t silver over 0.75 meters and 8.7 g/t gold, 181 g/t silver, 3% copper and 9% zinc over 1 meter. No modern exploration has been carried out at the project, providing significant exploration upside and multiple drill targets.

Barrick’s Plan to Sell Hemlo Mine for US$1.09 Billion Marks Canadian Exit

Barrick Mining (TSX:ABX,NYSE:B) has agreed to sell its Hemlo gold mine in Ontario, Canada, for up to US$1.09 billion, continuing the company’s shift away from non-core assets.

The company announced on Thursday (September 11) that Carcetti Capital (TSXV:CART.H), which will be renamed Hemlo Mining, will acquire the mine under terms that include US$875 million in cash, US$50 million in Hemlo Mining shares and as much as US$165 million in contingent payments tied to future gold prices and production.

Barrick President and Chief Executive Mark Bristow said the sale is part of the company’s ongoing capital allocation approach, noting that proceeds will help bolster the firm’s balance sheet and fund returns to shareholders.

“The sale of Hemlo at an attractive valuation marks the close of Barrick’s long and successful chapter at the mine and underscores our disciplined focus on building value through our Tier One gold and copper portfolio,” Bristow said.

Hemlo, located near Marathon, Ontario, has produced more than 25 million ounces of gold over three decades of continuous operation. The mine transitioned from open-pit to underground operations in 2020.

The incoming Hemlo Mining board will include Robert Quartermain, founder of Pretium Resources and former CEO of SSR Mining (NASDAQ:SSRM,TSX:SSRM). He played a key role in the original discovery of Hemlo while at Teck Resources (TSX:TECK.A,TSX:TECK.B,NYSE:TECK). The company will be led by incoming CEO Jason Kosec, and supported by a consortium that includes Wheaton Precious Metals (TSX:WPM,NYSE:WPM) and Orion Mine Finance.

To finance the acquisition, Hemlo Mining has secured a US$1 billion package comprised of US$400 million in gold streaming from Wheaton, US$415 million in equity and US$200 million in debt.

Wheaton will also take up to US$50 million of the equity raise.

“Hemlo offers a unique opportunity to add immediate, accretive gold ounces from a politically stable jurisdiction, backed by a long history of production and a capable operating team,” said Wheaton CEO Randy Smallwood.

Under the streaming agreement, Wheaton will purchase 13.5 percent of Hemlo’s payable gold until 181,000 ounces are delivered, after which the rate will fall to 9 percent for another 157,330 ounces, and then to 6 percent for the remainder of the mine’s life. Wheaton’s attributable production is expected to average around 20,000 ounces annually for the first decade and more than 17,000 ounces annually over the life of mine, which is forecast to extend for at least 14 years.

For Barrick, the sale continues a multi-year effort to trim smaller, less profitable operations in favor of large, long-life assets that meet its “tier one” criteria. Earlier this year, the company also divested its stakes in Donlin and Alturas, bringing expected gross proceeds from non-core asset sales in 2025 to more than US$2 billion.

While Barrick has emphasized that Canada remains an important exploration jurisdiction, the Hemlo arrangement effectively ends its role as a mine operator in its home country.

Reports of a potential sale had circulated since mid-2024, spurring rumors that Barrick was in advanced talks with Discovery Silver (TSX:DSV,OTCQX:DSVSF) to divest Hemlo; those discussions ultimately did not result in a deal.

Fans boo Arch Manning-led Texas offense at halftime vs UTEP

A lot of buzz and expectations surrounded Texas football entering the 2025 college football season, with Arch Manning taking over the reins of the Longhorns’ offense as a full-time starter for the first time in his career.

Three weeks into the season, Manning and the Longhorns offense haven’t exactly risen to meet those expectations.

Those struggles appear to have turned into frustration for Longhorn fans, as they booed the team as they headed into halftime at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 13. The Longhorns held only a 14-3 lead over UTEP. Curiously, the Miners are quarterbacked by Malachi Nelson, another 5-star quarterback from Manning’s recruiting class.

Despite scoring two rushing touchdowns in the first half, Manning continued to struggle operating and moving the Longhorns offense, as he completed 5 of 16 passes for 69 yards and an interception. He finished the first half with 10 consecutive incompletions.

The Longhorns created just 187 total yards of offense in the first half, with 118 of those coming on the ground. Texas went 1 for 9 on third-down conversions in the first half as well. The Manning-led offense entered the day converting only seven for 26 third-down attempts (26.9%) ranking 119th among all Division I FBS programs.

Heading into the UTEP game, Sarkisian downplayed rumors that surfaced following Texas’ win over San Jose State that Manning has been playing injured to begin the season. In Texas’ win on Sept. 6, ESPN’s cameras caught Manning grimacing during a side-arm pass. Sarkisian said his quarterback ‘doesn’t have any’ injuries.

Texas led UTEP 17-3 at the end of the third quarter. Should the Longhorns hold onto their lead for the win, they will move to 2-1 on the season going into their Week 4 game against Sam Houston on Saturday, Sept. 20.

Bryce Anderson injury update: Texas A&M DB stretchered off of field

At the 1:04 mark of the second quarter, Anderson tackled Notre Dame tight end Eli Raridon, immediately collapsing on the field and lying prone on the turf. He was tended to by medical staff members for several minutes on the field, with members of both Texas A&M and Notre Dame kneeling in silence as he was tended to.

He eventually was stretchered off the field and gave a thumbs up as he exited the game. NBC’s Kathryn Tappen reported that Texas A&M coach Mike Elko told her that Anderson was taken to Beacon Memorial Hospital, a nearby Level 2 trauma center, in an ambulance for ‘precautionary reasons’ and that Anderson has ‘feeling in all of his limbs.’

Prior to his injury, Anderson was tied as the leading tackler among Texas A&M defenders with four tackles. The 5-foot-10 safety entered Saturday’s top-25 ranked matchup vs. Notre Dame with six total tackles and a quarterback hit in Texas A&M’s first two games of the season.

Here’s the latest on Anderson’s injury:

Bryce Anderson injury update

Anderson sustained an injury in the final minutes of the first half against Notre Dame following a hit on Raridon.

NBC’s broadcast showed Anderson being tended to by members of Texas A&M’s medical staff and medical staff at the stadium. NBC’s Kathryn Tappen reported that Anderson’s pads and jerseys were taken off of him and had a neck brace placed on him.

Anderson gave a thumbs up to those in the stadium as he was taken off the field. Prior to being taken off the field, the entire Aggie team went over to greet him after he was stabilized by the medical staff that tended to him.

Coming out of halftime, Tappen reported that Anderson was taken to a Beacon Memorial Hospital, a Level 1 trauma center that is located two miles away from Notre Dame Stadium, in an ambulance for further evaluation. She added he has ‘feeling in all of his limbs.’

Mike Elko comments on Bryce Anderson’s injury

Following Texas A&M’s thrilling 41-40 win over Notre Dame, Elko told reporters in South Bend that ‘all signs are positive’ regarding his safety ‘at this point.’

‘Still praying for Bryce. At this point, all signs are positive. I don’t think we are done with every diagnostic testing but so far every test that we’ve run through has come back positive,’ Elko said.

Coach throws chair in frustration after Texas A&M allows touchdown

Texas A&M football coach Mike Elko was not happy after the Aggies’ allowed a Notre Dame scoring drive in the first quarter.

In fact, Texas A&M’s sideline on the road in Notre Dame, Indiana, might need a replacement chair after he voiced his displeasure to his defense.

While yelling at players on the sideline, Elko picked up a chair and tossed it out of rage. NBC play-by-play commentator Noah Eagle had some fun with the situation after the chair toss was shown on the TV broadcast.

‘That chair, we’re gonna have to check on,’ Eagle said. ‘Because the well-being doesn’t appear to be super high.’

NBC later zoomed in on the thrown chair, which was laying sideways behind the Aggies’ bench.

It’s unclear what made Elko so angry, but star cornerback Dezz Ricks was flagged for a personal foul after shoving Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love into the Fighting Irish bench after Love already ran out of bounds. CJ Carr then made a 47-yard pass to put Notre Dame on Texas A&M’s 4-yard line, setting up the touchdown to finish the drive.

Texas A&M is looking to avoid being swept in its home-and-home series against Notre Dame, as the Aggies fell 23-13 to the eventual national championship runners-up a season ago in College Station, Texas.

Elko is in his second season as Texas A&M’s head coach after serving in the same role at Duke for two seasons from 2022-23. Elko was previously the defensive coordinator for the Aggies from 2018-21, and was the defensive coordinator at Notre Dame for one season in 2017.

Texas A&M fans are hoping Elko’s butt-chewing — and chair throw, for that matter — can ignite the Aggies moving forward.

Bell wins NASCAR race at Bristol; four drivers eliminated from playoffs

Christopher Bell made it a clean sweep for Joe Gibbs Racing in the first three races of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series playoffs.

Bell surged to victory Saturday night at Bristol Motor Speedway, taking the checkered flag after a blistering restart with four laps remaining in the Bass Pro Shops Night Race. Bell joined teammates Chase Briscoe, who won the playoff opener at Darlington Raceway, and Denny Hamlin, who won last weekend at World Wide Technology Raceway, in the Round of 12 of the NASCAR playoffs.

Bell took the lead in Turn 2 of the restart from Carson Hocevar and held off a hard charge from RFK Racing’s Brad Keselowski on the final lap to earn his first career victory at Bristol and his fourth of the 2025 season. Bell edged Keselowski by 0.343 seconds.

“We just know that any week, any given week, it could be us, and it hadn’t been us for a long time,’ Bell said of his victory Saturday night. ‘But Bristol, baby, tonight it’s us!”

Zane Smith finished third, Ryan Blaney fourth and Joey Logano fifth. Corey Heim, Hocevar, Alex Bowman, Briscoe and Ty Gibbs rounded out the Top 10.

The race concluded the first round of the playoffs and ended the championship hopes of four drivers. Bowman, Austin Dillon, Shane van Gisbergen, and Josh Berry were eliminated from the playoffs with the lowest points after three races.

The second round, which begins next Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, features 12 drivers still alive in the championship hunt: Bell, Hamlin, Briscoe, Blaney, Logano, Kyle Larson, Bubba Wallace, William Byron, Tyler Reddick, Chase Elliott, Ross Chastain and Austin Cindric.

The Round of 12 then moves to Kansas Speedway on Sept. 28 before concluding with an elimination race on the Roval at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Oct. 5.

Denny Hamlin loses right front wheel, crashes

Denny Hamlin brought on the caution on Lap 384. Hamlin was battling with pole winner AJ Allmendinger for the 20th position when he appeared to lose his right front wheel one second before making contact with Allmendinger entering Turn 3. Both cars hit the wall and suffered major damage.

Hamlin also received a two-lap penalty for losing the right front wheel. Hamlin won the second playoff race last weekend at World Wide Technology Raceway to secure a spot in the Round of 12.

NASCAR Bristol race: Lap 364 update

Kyle Larson slowed on the track and spun into the inside wall between Turn 1 and Turn 2 after suffering a broken toe link following contact with Daniel Suarez while both battled for 25th. Larson has already clinched a berth in the second round of the playoffs.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. spins, brings out caution

Rickey Stenhouse Jr. spun in Turn 1 after contact from Bubba Wallace on Lap 354 of 500 of the Bass Pro Shops Night Race to bring out the caution flag at Bristol Motor Speedway. Stenhouse was running in the 20th position, while Wallace was seeking to get to pit road before the contact.

During the caution, most of the leaders came down pit road for fuel and tires, though some teams replaced all four tires, while others opted to spend less time on service and just take two tires.

Denny Hamlin stayed out while other drivers pitted. He restarted on the front row alongside Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Chase Briscoe, who promptly took the lead from Hamlin.

Playoff driver Chase Elliott crashes out of Bristol race

Chase Elliott slammed into the outside wall head on in Turn 3 after John Hunter Nemechek made contact with the back of the No. 9 Hendrick Chevrolet on Lap 311. Elliott was running 10th at the time and was trying to squeeze into the bottom lane in front of Nemechek, who said he got rear-end contact from Denny Hamlin.

Elliott’s crew pushed the No. 9 Chevy behind the wall to try to repair the major damage but to no avail. Elliott was forced out of the race, and currently sits as the 12th and final driver positioned to make the second round of the playoffs … pending the final 180 laps of the race. Elliott currently leads teammate Alex Bowman by 23 points and Austin Dillon by 24 points in the playoff standings.

NASCAR Bristol Night Race Lap 300 update

Chase Briscoe leads the field on a restart with 200 laps remaining after a spin by Noah Gragson. Chris Buescher runs second, Bubba Wallace third, Ryan Blaney fourth and Christopher Bell fifth. All but Buescher are playoff drivers; Briscoe, Wallace and Blaney have already clinched spots in the second round of the playoffs.

Ryan Blaney clinches berth in second round of playoffs

Ryan Blaney, who won the opening stage of the Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway and finished second in Stage 2, became the fifth driver to advance to the Round of 12 of the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs. Seven spots remain open, while four drivers will be eliminated at the end of the race.

Ty Gibbs wins Stage 2 of NASCAR Bristol Night Race

Alex Bowman finished third, Brad Keselowski fourth and Carson Hocevar fifth. Austin Cindric, Chris Buescher, Bubba Wallace, Zane Smith and Denny Hamlin rounded out the Top 10.

Daytona 500 winner William Byron, who had gone a lap down in the closing laps of Stage 2, received the wave-around to get back on the lead lap. Byron was running 19th, leaving half the field at least one lap down.

Shane van Gisbergen spins, bring out caution

Shane van Gisbergen spun out in Turn 3 from 33rd position with 12 laps remaining in the second stage to bring out the caution. All lead lap cars except Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who was running in the seventh position, made their way to pit road for fuel and tires. Ty Gibbs emerged as the leader after pit stops, followed by Alex Bowman and Brad Keselowski.

With his spin, van Gisbergen put himself in a must-win position to advance to the next round of the playoffs.

NASCAR Bristol Night Race: Lap 180 update

Ty Gibbs continues to lead the Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol with 70 laps remaining in the second stage. Gibbs has led more than 120 laps in the race so far. Carson Hocevar has powered into the second position followed by playoff drivers Ryan Blaney and Bubba Wallace. Jon Hunter Nemechek runs fifth, and playoff driver Alex Bowman has rebounded from an early spin to drive up to the sixth position.

Kyle Larson, Bubba Wallace advance in NASCAR playoffs

With their finishes in the opening stage of the Bass Pro Shops Night Race, Kyle Larson, the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion, and Bubba Wallace have officially clinched berths in the Round of 12 of the playoffs.

Wallace finished fourth in Stage 1, while Kyle Larson finished 24th. But Larson had built up enough points in the first two races of the first round to secure advancement on points along with Wallace.

Larson and Wallace join Joe Gibbs Racing drivers Chase Briscoe and Denny Hamlin, who had already advanced to the Round of 12 after winning the first two races of the first round.

Ryan Blaney wins Stage 1 of NASCAR Bristol Night Race

Ryan Blaney passed Ty Gibbs on the penultimate lap of the 125-lap opening stage then held off the Joe Gibbs Racing driver in a side-by-side battle to the finish line to win Stage 1 of the Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway. Blaney, the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series champion, collected 10 stage points and a valuable playoff point he can carry into the second round.

William Byron finished third, Bubba Wallace fourth and Zane Smith fifth. Chris Buescher, AJ Allmendinger, Brad Keselowski, John Hunter Nemechek and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. rounded out the Top 10.

Caution flag waves as Josh Berry’s car catches fire

Smoke filled up the No. 21 Wood Brothers Ford of Josh Berry as he came down pit road. Berry’s car began to catch fire while he was still out on the track. As he maneuvered his vehicle down pit road, he radioed his crew that he could not see as smoke began to engulf the interior.

Berry was able to vacate his car under his own power as safety officials quickly put out the fire, and the caution flag waved on Lap 80. But Berry’s championship hopes came to an end with his race over early. Berry entered tonight’s race 16th in the playoff standings and needed a great race to advance to the next round.

Ryan Blaney last of playoff drivers to hit pit road

Ryan Blaney found a way to preserve his tires long after every other driver came down pit road under green. The Team Penske driver was the last playoff driver to change tires and may have to make only one more stop in Stage 1, while most of the field will likely have to make two stops before the segment ends.

Former NHL union leader Bob Goodenow dies at 72

Bob Goodenow, who led the NHL Players’ Association through big gains and contentious negotiations, has died at 72, the NHLPA announced on Sept. 13.

No cause of death was given, but the union called it a ‘sudden passing.’

‘The modern NHLPA, and the work it has done to improve the quality of life for thousands of players past and present, is a direct result of the foundation that Bob Goodenow built. His impact on the game of hockey is lasting and profound,’ the union said in a statement.

Goodenow played at Harvard University, for Team USA and in the International Hockey League. He was a player agent before he joined the NHLPA in 1990 as deputy executive director. He became executive director in 1992, succeeding the controversial Alan Eagleson.

The NHL went through a strike in 1992 and lockouts in 1994-95 and 2004-05 during Goodenow’s tenure. The 2004-05 lockout led to a canceled season as players and the NHL clashed over the league’s desire for a salary cap.

Players eventually accepted a salary cap as the league resumed play in 2005-06. Goodenow stepped aside in 2005 and was replaced by Ted Saskin.

Goodenow and the league also reached agreements to have NHL players take part in the Olympics.

‘During his tenure, Bob was relentless in the fight for players’ rights. He negotiated landmark gains in salary, free agency, pension and health benefits, and he led the players in taking control of their name, image and likeness rights in 1992,’ the NHLPA said in a statement. ‘He also helped to establish pioneering programs, such as player salary disclosure, the second medical opinion program for players, the agent certification program, and he worked with the NHL to implement the Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health Program for players and their families.

‘Bob brought players into the modern business era of the game, building robust licensing and sponsorship programs at the NHLPA, investing in technology and education, and ensuring that players had a voice in shaping the future of the game. To deliver in these areas, and others, Bob took the NHLPA’s professional staff from only three people to more than 50 employees by the end of his tenure. Under Bob’s leadership, the Players’ Association and the league jointly launched the World Cup of Hockey in 1996 and brought NHL players to the Olympic Games for the first time in 1998 in Nagano, followed by Salt Lake City in 2002.’

“Bob was a skilled attorney and tenacious advocate for the players he represented as an agent and as the head of the Players’ Association,’ Bettman said in a statement. ‘We send our deepest condolences to his wife, Wendy, their three children, Joe, Katharine and Kerry, and his many friends and admirers throughout hockey.”
