TORONTO (AP) — Don Fehr is the new executive director of the National Hockey League Players’ Association.

The union made the announcement Saturday. It said the players voted overwhelmingly to appoint Fehr after the executive board’s endorsement.

The 62-year-old Fehr is the former executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association. He held that post from 1983 until 2009.

Fehr was serving as an unpaid NHLPA consultant. He will start in his new position immediately.

The collective bargaining agreement between the union and league is set to expire in September 2012.
