NHL players will begin voting Sunday on whether they’ll grant their executive board the authority to dissolve the NHL Players’ Association.

Two-thirds of the union’s membership must vote in favour of allowing the executive board to file a “disclaimer of interest,” according to a source.

Votes will be cast electronically over a five-day period that ends Thursday.

Should players vote in favour of allowing the 30-member executive board to file a disclaimer, it would have until Jan. 2 to do so.
