NWHL walkout could mean an early end to some players’ careers Globe_Sports

For some female hockey players, the price for demanding a professional league that pays could be not getting a chance to play in it.

They’re among those agitating for a living wage to play hockey in one strong, marketable, professional league in North America. “I personally decided to participate because I see the importance of growing something bigger,” Desrochers said. “If I’m not necessarily part of it as a player next season or the one after, I’ve accepted that.”A typical Thursday prior to the CWHL’s demise started at 5 a.m. and ended at midnight as she worked her shift, took firefighting classes and squeezed in a late-evening practice.CWHL salaries ranged from $2,000 to $10,000.

Knox, who was co-chair of the CWHL’s players’ association, said she and others are prepared to sacrifice what’s left of their playing careers to present a united front.
