[12] Members of the team including captain Meghan Duggan made public statements regarding poor pay and conditions for female hockey players. [13] The players were publicly supported by the players' associations for the NBA, WNBA, MLB and the NHLPA. On March 28, 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. [14]
