NHL agent barred for showing data to reporter

David at VodkaFish informs that after opening up the National Hockey League Players Association website to members of the media, one agent will be barred from working with players in the union in their contract negotiations with the league. The primary reason was for the unveiling of the "NHLPA SCORE" program, which allows player agents to quickly obtain data necessary to get their players the best contracts.

While the agent remains anonymous at this point, it would appear that the reporter is not. On November 7, Chris Snow of the Star Tribune offered a detailed look into the SCORE system, including examples of pulling statistics and other information that would be useful to agents.

As of post time, Snow has not responded to email regarding this issue.
