Threatened boycott by US players[edit]
On 15 March 2017, the U.S. team announced that unless concessions were made by USA Hockey, they would boycott the World Championship to protest inequitable support and conditions for women's hockey.[9] The players were publicly supported by the players' associations for the NBA, WNBA, MLB, NFL, and the NHL.
After several days of stalled negotiations and attempts to field a team of non-boycotting players, causing concern over such a team being competitive, an agreement was struck with USA Hockey to increase player pay and support for women's development; the original players immediately agreed to play in the World Championship.[10][11][12]
