handled the PR aspects well today (letting players parents control the message), but what choice to teams really have. The players have outright said they are boycotting the season unless their demands are met.

That means they have chosen to take themselves off the team(s) at least until this is settled.

Any player that has signed up and is supporting this 'strike' should be cleaning their own lockers out first thing Monday morning.

What exactly did they think "boycott the season" means?
