The Women's World Challenge is a Para Ice Hockey tournament for women teams. The competition was made with the ultimate goal of expanding female participation in Para ice hockey worldwide. This tournament also acts as a precursor to an eventual Women's World Para Ice Hockey World Championships.
History
Prior to the event, only three women had been to the Para ice hockey event at the Paralympics, so to increase opportunities for women in the sport, a women's-only tournament was created. The first Women's World Challenge was held in 2022, in the American city, Green Bay. The USA would win the first event, beating Canada 5–1 in the Gold Medal match. In 2023, also held in Green Bay, United States successfully defended their title, beating the Canadians 2–0 in the Final.
