Women's Hockey Could Lose Status as Olympic Sport

Filed under: College Hockey, Team USA, Team Canada, International Hockey, Olympic HockeyThe World Hockey Summit kicks off Monday in Toronto, and there are plenty of serious issues to be discussed among some big names in the sport.

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman will be there Wednesday, and IIHF head Rene Fasel -- who has butted heads with Bettman on the issue of NHL players taking part in the 2014 Olympic games -- will speak Tuesday.

Thursday is an important day for one growing facet of hockey. The future of women's hockey is the main point of Thursday's session. The International Olympic Committee is losing patience with the sport, which has been completely dominated by the United States and Canada on the international level since its inception.

With talk of the sport losing its Olympic status, there are some big steps that must be taken to save it. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
