It's official: there will be no more NHL hockey in 2012 as the league announced the cancellation of all games through January 14th.

Logan discussed CBA negotiations, playing against Joe Thornton in Switzerland and whether the lockout will damage San Jose's fanbase in a recent interview.

San Jose forwards become the sixth and seventh Sharks to return to North America from Europe in the last month, potentially in the hope that the NHL lockout ends.
