‘Former Buffalo Sabres enforcer Rob Ray is suing the NHLPA in New York Supreme Court over the payout of millions of dollars from the union’s so-called war chest after the lockout was resolved. Ray originally sued the NHLPA after the union excluded him from receiving monthly payments during the ’04-’05 lockout. After he settled that lawsuit, the union made lump-sum payouts to both current and former players. Now, Ray is suing for some of that money and seeking $1 million in punitive damages as well.’
