U.S. Women's Team Makes Progress In Talks With USA Hockey

The U.S. women’s national hockey team and its lawyers "met for 10 hours Monday with USA Hockey, working to reach an agreement for increased wages and support." U.S. Fs Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson and Hilary Knight "called the meetings 'productive' and said the team was hopeful that a deal could be reached quickly enough for the players to prepare for the world championship." The event "begins March 31 in Plymouth, Mich." Lamoureux-Davidson said, "A lot of progress was made today." She was "joined by seven teammates in Philadelphia for the meeting, with an additional 10 players participating remotely" (N.Y. TIMES, 3/21).
