    As I understand it, USA Hockey does not compensate the men's national team any more than the women's national team.  The difference, of course, is that the players on the men's team are on loan from their NHL club and obviously get paid handsomely by their NHL club.  But as it relates specifically to USA Hockey, the women's players are essentially asking USA Hockey to compensate them more than they do the men.  Am I correct in my understanding?  Because the way the media is portraying this, the average person thinks USA Hockey is paying the men more than the women.  When in reality, the women want special treatment from USA Hockey because, unlike the men, they don't have a professional club to pay them enough so that they can devote their life to training and playing hockey.

    That is how I see it as well. 

  2. That was a terrible letter. I hate how is says the boys NTDP gets 3.5 millions spent on it but doesn't mention that money comes directly from the NHL to fund that team. Would have thought they would have done a little more fact checking before putting that out.

  3. Wife and I headed down to our first frozen four. Everything booked but the game tickets. Seems like a lot of people are going to the scalpers. Anyone worried they aren't going to get tickets especially to the Thursday game? Prices are pretty rediculous right now, but I don't want to get down there and not be able to find tickets.
