"One of the first games I went to was against the California Golden Seals," said Piazza, who collects hockey jerseys and counts Montreal Canadiens defenseman Sheldon Souray among his close friends. "I love hockey. This has been frustrating for everybody, fans and players alike. It's a shame."

Mets teammate Glavine, a Billerica, Mass., native who was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings, has been a key figure in baseball's labor negotiations. The pitcher experienced firsthand the damage baseball suffered from the 1994 strike and feels hockey is in a much more vulnerable position with its fan base.
"I missed being able to take my kids down there because they enjoyed going to the games," said Glavine, who lives outside of Atlanta. "So there was a definite void this winter, not being able to see it and go to it. It's unfortunate and you just hope that they get something done here before it starts creeping into next season, and you have to through it again next year."
