Salary Cap and Its Influence on the NHL Human Resource Management
Calta, Ondřej ; Beroušek, Petr (advisor) ; Campbell, Jan (referee)
This thesis describes the impact of salary restraints adopted by the National Hockey League after the 2004/05 season lock-out on human resource management (especially building of a team) and on a professional ice-hockey labour market. The theoretical part contains a description of all NHL HR management procedures and rules necessary to grasp the following empirical part. Negotiations, which led to formation of the contemporary Collective Bargaining Agreement are also mentioned in this part. The empirical chapters describe concrete impacts of the salary cap, some of which are illustrated in the case study. I ponder the veracity of hockey and economic experts' statements according to statistical evidence. The findings of my thesis point out a significant influence of the salary cap on HR management, concerning the (re)building of an NHL team. There is a growth of the importance of drafted players, while the trade volume of key players decreases. The salary cap also caused a more equal wage distribution at the expense of greatest stars and supported the employment of less experienced players. The thesis should set the basis for a more profound research of the NHL salary cap effects.
