The ECHL and the Professional Hockey Players’ Association approved a new collective bargaining agreement, the sides announced Tuesday.

They agreed to the five-year deal on Saturday after the players went on strike Friday amid a monthslong labor dispute with the ECHL.

“This agreement reflects the unity, resolve, professionalism and discipline of our members throughout this process,” PHPA executive director Brian Ramsay said. “Meaningful progress was made in several key areas identified as priorities by our members, and this outcome would not have been possible without their engagement and support.”

ECHL commissioner Ryan Crelin said the new deal “significantly increases player compensation, improves health and safety and delivers on new initiatives that are responsive to our players’ needs.” He also said it would allow the league to grow and enable to continue providing “accessible” hockey for its fans and communities.

Contract details were not released. Before the strike, the ECHL said it would raise player salaries 20% in the first year, increase per diems, guarantee more off days and limit travel between back-to-back games to 325 miles. The league also said it had offered to raise the salary cap by 19.8%.

The ECHL has 30 teams, 29 of which are in the U.S. and one in Canada in Trois-Rivières, Quebec. The sides had been engaged in talks since January.

Three Maine Mariners games were postponed due to strike and have not yet been rescheduled, including two home games. In all, 41 ECHL games were postponed due to the strike.

Maine will return to action on Wednesday afternoon at Adirondack. The Mariners host Adirondack for games on Friday and Saturday, then host Trois-Rivières on Sunday afternoon.

Also Tuesday, goaltender Luke Cavallin and defenseman Loke Johansson were re-assigned to Maine from the AHL Providence Bruins.

Cavallin played 14 games for the Mariners earlier this season, posting a 9-4-1 record with a 2.05 goals against average and a .927 save percentage. He made his debut for Providence on Sunday, stopping 25 of 26 shots in a 7-1 win at Springfield.

Johansson also started the season with Maine, playing in nine games before his call-up on Nov. 10. He played 12 games for Providence.
