Where this case stands

In litigation

The case has been filed and is being fought in court. There is no settlement, no claim form and no payout yet; many class actions are dismissed or never certified.

Pending in the District Court, W.D. Washington (No. 2:24-cv-02135).

December 23, 2024
Case filed

What happened

A proposed antitrust class action against the National Hockey League, apparently brought by hockey players and players' unions. The plaintiffs allege that the league's policies or rules violate antitrust laws, affecting the rights or opportunities of hockey players. These are allegations in a newly filed case, not proven facts.

Do you qualify?

No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.

How to file

There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.
