"I had not heard a good enough reason on why we couldn't have women's hockey DI at Michigan," Ilitch told The Athletic. This statement emphasizes her frustration with the university's repeated excuses and lack of concrete evidence against her proposal, indicating a desire for transparency and progress for women's sports. She articulates a clear call to action, urging for equitable support for women's hockey that reflects the university's commitment to fostering an inclusive athletic environment."
"Part of our mission statement at the University of Michigan says to serve the people of Michigan. And right now, the people of Michigan are not being served," Ilitch stated. This highlights the broader implications of her advocacy, framing the introduction of a women's hockey program not just as a sports initiative, but as part of the university's civic responsibility to support and engage with the community it serves, promoting gender equality in athletics."
