USA Hockey says demands from the women's team is actually millions of dollars.

The United States Women's Hockey team has threatened to boycott the upcoming IIHF World Championship if their demands are not met, but today USA Hockey fired back.

According to a report from the CBC, USA Hockey today accused the players of making demands that could exceed a total of $8 million dollars, a truly staggering number if it is indeed accurate.

From the CBC:

In an update posted to its website Friday afternoon, USA Hockey says players' demands would exceed $8 million US total in an Olympic year and $5.7 million in a non-Olympic year, at a rate of $237,000 per player for winning gold at the Olympics and $149,00 per in non-Olympic year.

Keep in mind that these are the numbers provided by USA Hockey in what is turning into a very public negotiation between them and their female players. While the players have not yet officially responded, we think it's likely they will dispute the validity of these numbers.
