PLYMOUTH, Mich. — When U.S. women's national hockey team players were on the ice for practice Thursday, defender Megan Keller said she saw a fan holding a sign that read: Be Bold For Change.
“It made me smile to know that people support us,” Keller said. “Even younger people standing up with us is amazing to see.”
That was the players’ slogan when the team recently threatened to boycott the IIHF Women's World Championship in their public and successful bid to negotiate a new contract that would pay them well enough to stay in the support beyond their college eligibility.
