The players are all part of a union, so the entire union would have to strike (aka all 700+ players). One team of players doesn't have the right to do so.

I suppose though if the working conditions became "unbearable" for those poor millionaire hockey players, each player could individually retire from his contract to be removed from the team. However, said team would still have his rights retained (depending on players age) should they want to be reinstated to the NHL. I guess if they had a racist ass owner they could all retire until a new owner is established (Sterling case) and then come back.

Basically all I can think of.
