AustriaA group of female players from Austria's ice hockey national team have publicly demanded equal treatment after boycotting a training camp in Slovakia. The players, represented by the Younion union, have gained significant attention but have yet to receive concrete commitments from the Austrian Ice Hockey Association (ÖEHV). In an interview, goalkeeper Selma Luggin stated they were glad to expose past issues within the team and expressed gratitude for support from some male players like Marco Rossi and Clemens Unterweger. The association has reportedly sent an email outlining points such as new coaches, but specific assurances regarding daily allowances remain absent. Union representative Sascha Tomanek criticized the lack of progress despite ongoing discussions, stating that mere willingness to talk has not led to meaningful negotiations.
