Threatened boycott by US players


On 15 March 2017, the U.S. team announced that they would boycott the World Championship due to inequitable support and conditions for women's hockey, unless concessions were made by USA Hockey.[6] The players were publicly supported by the players' associations for the NBA, WNBA, MLB and the NHL. After several days of stalled negotiations and attempts to field a team of non-boycotting players, the original players agreed to play in the World Championship after an agreement was struck with USA Hockey to increase player pay and support for women's development.[7][8][9]
