The IIHF Women’s World Championship is one of the biggest tournaments in women’s ice hockey. It is held every four years and features some of the best players in the world. The 2022 edition will be the first to be held in Denmark and promises to be a great event.
There are 10 teams competing in the tournament, including Canada, USA, Switzerland, Japan, Finland, Sweden, Czechia, Hungary, Germany, and Denmark. The games will be held at KVIK Hockey Arena, Iscenter Nord, at Herning/Frederikshavn, Denmark, from August 25 to September 4th, 2022.
While the NHL has yet to begin its preseason, international hockey is still in full swing. The 2022 IIHF Women’s World Championship is due to begin this week, less than a week after the 2022 World Juniors concluded. The opening games are scheduled for Thursday.
For the next 11 days, the world’s most incredible women’s hockey players will assemble in Europe to participate in the World Championship. Canada is the defending champion, having defeated the United States 3-2 in overtime in 2021. Captain Marie-Philip Poulin added the OT winner to her list of exploits.
This is the first time the tournament has been held in Denmark and the first time the event has taken place during an Olympic year. The IIHF has traditionally not conducted the Women’s World Championship in the same calendar year as the Olympics. Still, the organization announced in September 2021 that the top division will play a tournament.
