USA Today, citing a person with knowledge of the situation, is reporting that USA Hockey has struck a tentative four-year deal with members of the U.S. women’s national team that would avert a boycott of the upcoming world championship in Plymouth, Michigan.
The players are expected to vote on the deal today. No financial details were reported. The players have been seeking a living wage.
The U.S. is scheduled to play Canada on Friday at USA Hockey Arena.
Update:
Deal between USA Hockey and women's team has hit snag and may take some time to resolve. It's contract-language related, not money-related.
