I'm pretty sure the men don't get that paid forLast edited by pokechecker; 03-28-2017, 08:26 PM.

However, I see no reason they won't work their way back to the gold medal game, and by then, anything can happen.Russell Jaslow

I wonder if theyll be adding more 4 nations type events or touring exhibitions. Its a lot to pay out for what ammounts to, what, 10 games a year?Last edited by BoSox3066; 03-28-2017, 10:00 PM.

Re: 2017 Women's World Championships
"The pressure to reach a resolution mounted more Monday, when 17 U.S. senators released a letter they sent to Ogrean and the federation criticizing the treatment of the women's team and stressing that USA Hockey is legally required by the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act to "provide equitable support and encouragement for participation."
So, if this is a legal requirement how did Hockey USA get away with it for so long? And, was this possibly used as leverage by the players in the negotiations?
And, if the details of the agreement were none of our business, where did the details come from?...as in, who spilled the beans?...so quickly?

If you scroll down to the article beneath the announcement of the agreement there is another "alleged" prime example of this involving Bela Karolyi.
Anyway, good on the US women for standing up to these criminals.

Re: 2017 Women's World Championships
Sooooo proud of all the players that said No to USA hockey to scab for the best women's hockey players in the country! Great support by the WNHL and the entire USA hockey player pool down to the U18's, to the D3 studs and the Beer League/Rec players that respected the sport and their hockey sisters enough to understand this movement was bigger than them!
Without that kind of solidarity no way this situation has the same great result
What a great day for women's hockey!

Which brings about another question -- against whom? The only national team that can compete with USA is Canada (and Sweden once in a rare moment). So, who do you schedule to give them a fight? College teams like the USA men used to do back before the Olympic men teams were made up of pros?Russell Jaslow
