USA Hockey started to improve their women 's hockey program once the conversation over adding women 's ice hockey into the Olympics started at an IOC executive board meeting in July 1992. In 1998 Winter Olympics at Nagano women 's ice hockey was included for the first time in the history of Olympics. USA Hockey wanted a team that could beat the Canadians since the stakes were very high for the 1998 Games, so they hired Ben Smith, who led the 1998 U.S. Olympic women 's hockey as the head coach. The U.S. women 's ice hockey team won gold in the 1998 Games, winning 3 - 1 against Team Canada. It became the first country to win gold in the women 's ice hockey competition in Olympic history. This was also the first gold in the history of the U.S women 's ice hockey team. This success inspired future generations of girls and women hockey players, including Meghan Duggan, a Team USA and Olympic athlete, who watched and celebrated the win as a 10 - year - old girl. Facilities The team 's training and development program was located in Blaine, Minnesota, at the Schwan Super Rink, the largest ice facility in the world for the 2010 Winter Olympics. For the 2014 Winter Olympics, the team 's training was located in the Greater Boston region at The Edge Sports Center in Bedford, Massachusetts and for off - ice fitness at the Mike Boyle Strength & Conditioning Center in Woburn, Massachusetts. 2017 IIHF women 's World Championship See also : 2017 IIHF Women 's World Championship § Threatened boycott by US players On 15 March 2017, players for the US women 's ice hockey team announced that they would boycott the World Championship over inequitable support and conditions for women 's hockey unless concessions were made by USA Hockey. Members of the team including captain Meghan Duggan made public statements regarding poor pay and conditions for female hockey players. The players were publicly supported by the players ' associations for the NBA, WNBA, MLB and the NHL. On 28 March 2017, the players agreed to play in the World Championship after an agreement was struck with USA Hockey to increase player pay and support for women 's development.
