u/44Atta

The article is in German, but tldr, the players had to use (ill-fitting) men’s equipment that was passed down instead of getting their own (including clothing), change in unheated cabins with bunkbeds and call-ups for the national team happened on extremely short notice which made both personal and job-related responsibilities hard to follow. They also don’t get paid a daily allowance like the men’s team.

If these conditions improve, they’ll play, but given that they’re already playing with only half a team in Bardejov, I don’t think the ÖEHV cares a whole lot about respecting their women’s team
