no difference to me between the women's ice hockey team and the women's field hockey team.
I'd love to know what the US women's hockey team gets compared to their peers on the US Olympic team.
and reading their demands, it's insane what they're looking for. it's quite a list of entitlements.

Keep in mind field hockey and ice hockey have 2 very different levels of cost and risks. My guess is that hockey is one of the most expensive team sport programs for any country and or gender.
