2017 IIHF Women's World Championship
On 15 March 2017, players for the US women's ice hockey team announced that they would boycott the World Championship over inequitable support and conditions for women's hockey unless concessions were made by USA Hockey. Members of the team including captain Meghan Duggan made public statements regarding poor pay and conditions for female hockey players. The players were publicly supported by the players' associations for the NBA, WNBA, MLB and the NHL. On 28 March 2017, the players agreed to play in the World Championship after an agreement was struck with USA Hockey to increase player pay and support for women's development.
