2017 Women's World Championships

Re: 2017 Women's World Championships

I followed the link to the article on NHL.com announcing that they will be streaming the USA games live, but can't find a link to the game stream or a mention of the game on the schedule. Anyone found the link? My cable provider does not offer NHL Network, despite my email request:mad::confused:

I find it more "interesting" that the NWHL cuts their players salary by 50% due to declining attendance back in November, and then amazingly just 4-5 months later USA Hockey is now supplementing their salary, opps I mean giving them equal opportunity.

I don't understand what you find interesting.

One is a business (NWHL) that has to stay profitable or go under. The other is a non-profit organization that must abide by the Amateur Sports Act.

It's not like all the players on NWHL suddenly got their pay supplemented by USA Hockey. Just the 25 or so women on the national team. A lot of other players in the NWHL are still getting their salaries cut by 50%, including all the Canadians.

I would be as equally as outraged if I had to pay for Phil Kessel to fly with a friend first class to the World Championships as I am having to pay for Hilary Knight to become a full time professional athlete on my dime. Does that answer your question.
That argument doesn't work however because we all know the NHL and USA Hockey have a complicated agreement that includes things like travel. NHL players get very little in direct compensation from USA Hockey. Difficult to compare the two situations.

I hate to break it to you, but the majority of the travel costs and friend benefits are being paid out of your dues. And, the NHL only gives nice support during the Olympics. They don't do dip as far as I know for the World Championship team each year, which has to be paid for by USA Hockey.

So, I'm still waiting for your outrage.

Also, all this "the dues are going to be raised" shouting by you and Champs may end up being a knee jerk reaction. Just like you mention with the NHL, the money agreements are complicated. We have no idea if USA Hockey wasn't working deals with their sponsors during this whole negotiating period to help pay for part of this new contract with the women. We do know new marketing agreements with the women were put in place. What that means and whether it means bringing in more sponsors, we don't know.

There's lots of way to shuffle money around when you bring in over $41 million of revenue. It doesn't mean dues are suddenly going to go up.

If you don't get it on your cable, you are not going to be able to stream it. NHL Network will require you to sign in with your cable provider credentials. Then, they will know you don't get it, so you will be locked out.

Now, as far as streaming it illegally...

I shall simply have to find a bar in the next town over, and ask politely if I can take shelter from the Nor'easter we will be in the height off and watch the game there. Maybe. C'mom Metrocast, woman up! What if someone I know does get the NHL Network at his home. Can we watch on my equipment at my home? I really don't know this answer. How far does big cable brother reach?

No. Bring beer to your friend's house...

I dropped down a cable level a while ago to save money, so I no longer get the NHL Network. I'm in the same boat.

Are you sure? I thought when NHL proper streamed it, you didn't have to log in? I think NHL Network has its own streaming site.

I could definitely wrong though. It's been a while since I had to do it.

Their iPad app makes you sign in.

I'll have to check it on my PC tonight. I hope I'm wrong.

Where can I find rosters?

USA here (Rigsby, Decker, Duggan, Knight, but no Pankowski):
http://teamusa.usahockey.com/page/show/3191409-2017-u-s-women-s-national-team

Canada here (Turnbull, Clarke, and Mikkelson, but no Desbiens and no Nurse)
https://www.hockeycanada.ca/en-ca/T...ld-Championship/Stats/team-rosters?teamid=179

(On the UW web site, Clarke said something about working out this week with Nurse that led me to think Nurse was going to be playing as well, but I guess not.)

I've always thought that one thing the people who take care of the USA site could do would be to add a "Printer Friendly" shortcut. Minor gripe, but if they want to stay even with Canada...
I'm sure the more computer literate knows a better way, but I've been copying the roster into Word, expanding the margins a bit and then printing using Landscape orientation. :rolleyes:
With Canada's I just clicked on the "Printer Friendly" button. :)

The USA Hockey website overall is just horrible. Just horrible.

And you're right. You can't print a d*mn thing.

Again, like it or not, the United States decided several decades ago that the athletes on its national teams would be professionals rather than amateurs. As such, it provides financial support necessary to make this so. The alternative to the deal that was struck, aside from being illegal in several aspects, was a truly amateur team that is not competitive with Canada. Those were the alternatives.

Thats not accurate. We decided the Olympians COULD be professionals, ie NBa and NhL people can play, track athletes could compete for money. Theres a difference between COULD and WOULD in this case. Plenty Olympians are amateurs. Bobsled? Archery? They getting six figures frim their organizarional bodies? Softball before it got cut?

Ryan Lochte receives around 25-30k a year....Michael Phelps about the same but is worth 55.5 million due endorsements. The US Gymnastics team less.
