TheChinese women's national ice hockey team (Chinese:中国国家女子冰球队) representsChina at theInternational Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF)Women's World Championship, theAsian Winter Games, and other international competitions. The women's national team is governed by theChinese Ice Hockey Association. China's national women's program is ranked twentieth in the world by the IIHF and has 808 active players as of 2020.[2]
China reached their hey day of women's hockey in the mid-90s when they finished as high as 4th place mostly thanks to the "Great Wall of China" goaltender,Guo Hong, who is now retired. China had 174 women's ice hockey players in 2011.[3]
Motivated to gain exposure to a more challenging level of competition, the Chinese national team competed in theNaisten SM-sarja, the premier women's league inFinland, for thirteen games in the 2005–06 season and for twelve games in the 2006–07 season.[4][5]
In 2022, China competed in the2022 Winter Olympics as the host nation. Going into the tournament, they relied heavily on the development of players on theVanke Rays team and were seen as having a real chance at making the quarterfinals.[6][7] They lost their opening game toCzech Republic, before defeating the lowest ranked qualifier,Denmark, andJapan in a shootout which was enough for Japan to clinch a playoff berth. Going into their last game againstSweden, a point would have been enough to secure a quarterfinal berth, but after taking the lead, the Chinese lost 2–1 against the Swedes. They were formally eliminated after Sweden beat Denmark in the last game of Group B.
Only two months after theWinter Olympics, they played in the2022 IIHF Women's World Championship Division IB inKatowice,Poland. They ended up dominating the competition, scoring 38 goals in the group to secure promotion to the2023 IIHF Women's World Championship Division IA. In November 2022, they were given the hosting rights to the group. Nine months later, they would end up winning the Division IA tournament and be promoted to the2024 IIHF Women's World Championship after defeatingAustria 2–0 inShenzhen. This will be China's first appearance in the top tier since2009.
