As reported earlier this year, the U.S. Women's National Team planned on boycotting this year's 2017 World Women's Hockey Championships in Plymouth, Michigan, USA., which begin April 2.
Now, the U.S. Men's hockey team may elect to do the same by boycotting the 2017 World Hockey Championships , which will be played in France & Germany in May. As a show of solidarity, and with the backing of the various player organizations - - the NHLPA, NBPA, NFLPA, MLBPA- - American NHL players are willing to send a message to USA Hockey that they are in tandem with the Women's team to boycott these WHC, to show their support of the outstanding issues.
The U.S. Women's Team is asking for fair wages and equitable treatment.
?We are asking for a living wage and for USA Hockey to fully support its programs for women and girls and stop treating us like an afterthought,? U.S. women?s national team captain Meghan Duggan said in a statement issued by the lawyers representing the team. ?We have represented our country with dignity and deserve to be treated with fairness and respect.?
