I'm with you. Woman's hockey is frankly not good, the parity that they hoped for is just not happening and if anything the gap is getting larger between NA teams and the rest of the world.
Basically the USA Hockey negotiation position is that we'll get rid of all of you and go to the next tier of players and we'll still win silver.
I'm not sitting here and callously saying we'll they shouldn't get paid for dedicating their lives to it. However Woman's hockey doesn't make a lot of money, not a lot of companies are rolling in to sponsor it in the USA, and until that changes then the players are going to realize that there's just not the money to give them a super confortable life while playing.
The next step is Hockey USA dissolves year around training and has a camp a week before the Worlds and a week before the Olympics and we'll be happy with just medaling .
