While the NHL has not publicly commented on Decker's time, the Canadian hockey products manufacturer CCM stepped in, lauding Decker's time and saying they would pay her $25,000.

\"We understand the importance of recognizing female hockey players and are pleased to give you the 25,000$ that you deserve,\" the company said in a statement.

The NHL also announced after the event that they would donate $25,000 each for all four of the female hockey players that attended Friday night's All-Star event to a charity or hockey program of their choice.

From the NHL and hockey fans everywhere, thank you @KendallCoyne, @RenataFast, @RJohnst6 and @Bdecker14 for making this #NHLAllStar Weekend so memorable. pic.twitter.com/gNu4lG41G6

Decker thanked fans on Twitter for the \"generous donations\" that poured in after the social media campaign, and even lauded the NHL for everything it \"has done for women's hockey and the sport as a whole this weekend.\"

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for growing the sport and we cannot wait to impact others through your generous donations. Also thank you to all the fans who came out to support all the athletes this weekend. As we all know that we can’t accomplish anything without you all!
