Today, the Women's Crowns would have gathered on Bosön to prepare for a five-nation tournament in Finland that will take place between August 20 and 25. Yesterday, however, came the message that the 43 selected players in the Women's crowns are dissatisfied and boycott national team games. The root cause should be a dissatisfaction with the compensation that players receive in national team games.
When SVT Sport gets hold of the ice hockey association's press officer Anders Feltenmark during Thursday, he says that no players have turned up.
- Everything is set. I have just canceled hotels and flights and such, he tells SVT Sport.
Can the ice hockey association be penalized for the women's crown not showing up?
- You can bring that to Tommy Boustedt.
SVT has sought representatives from the union, players and the union captain Ylva Martinsen.
