These women understand inequality when they see it and are expressing their right to be treated fairly as athletes and workers. #USWNHT

Of course, they have the NFLPA's support in daring to withhold their services until a fair agreement is reached. #USWNHT

Reports began surfacing Friday and early Saturday that USA Hockey was reaching out to Division III and high school athletes to fill out the 23 player roster for Team USA.
As they remained united, members of the national team and players in the NWHL, including Western New York native Emily Pfalzer continued their push for equality.
