“As players, we are dedicated to performing and representing ourselves and our teammates at the highest level on and off the ice for our fans, owners, and stakeholders,” the members of the Players’ Association said in their official statement.
According to SB Nation’s The Ice Garden, the move came after players grew unhappy with Sinatra’s representation of them to owners and the media.
Sinatra responded to the PHFPA’s announcement on Friday, Tweeting, “I respect their decision to move in another direction and wish them nothing but the best.
“My work and advocacy at the PA was always to advocate on behalf of the players with their best interests at heart,” said Sinatra, “I was never told by players that any of the appearances, interviews, or conversations I had with anyone were not what the players wanted until Jan. 27th.”
