Women’s hockey a winner and a loser in lead-up to world championship
PLYMOUTH, Mich. — Women’s hockey took a step forward and a step back in the span of a day this week.
Over 100 players in and outside the United States national team pool exercised collective power to wring financial concessions out of USA Hockey.
They used participation in the women’s world championship in Plymouth, Mich., as their hammer.
“Certainly a historic day in women’s sport on Tuesday night,” U.S. captain Meghan Duggan said. “I can only hope women continue to stand up and fight for things and move the needle in that aspect.”
