200 Female Pro Hockey Players Lay Down Their Sticks Demanding Better Conditions

More than 200 of the top female hockey players have decided they will not play professionally in North America next season. They are calling for a sustainable league with better resources. Pictured are Hilary Knight (left) with Kelly Pannek, playing with the U.S. national team last month in Finland. Both signed on to the boycott.

Citing low pay and lack of resources, the women said they would refuse to play in professional games in North America until the situation is addressed.
