Upcoming Season and Collective Bargaining Agreement for Kansas City Mavericks
The Kansas City Mavericks are gearing up for the ECHL season, but a significant issue looms off the ice: the absence of a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) as the 2025?26 season approaches. The previous CBA expired on June 30, 2025, after a three-year extension that provided stability during the league's recovery from the pandemic. Key elements of the previous agreement included player housing, salary structures, and playoff shares.
Until a new CBA is established, the Mavericks will operate under the terms of the expired agreement, which is a typical practice to ensure the season runs smoothly. Ongoing negotiations are expected to cover vital topics such as cost-of-living adjustments and housing policies, particularly important as the league expands and travel expenses increase.
For fans, these discussions impact more than just contracts; they affect team dynamics and player welfare. The upcoming agreement aims to ensure player protection, team competitiveness, and continued enjoyment of professional hockey for fans, reflecting the longstanding partnership between the Mavericks and the PHPA.
