🇫🇮 FINLAND (FIN) Women’s National Ice Hockey Team (1988-)
4 wins, 4 reigns, 4 games with IHLC – ranked 4th
IHLC last held 09 November 2011

The Finnish squad has been on the world stage since the beginning of international women’s hockey, first competing at the 1990 World Championship. While the Finns are one of the five nations to ever hold the women’s IHLC, and are a mainstay of the annual Four Nations Cup, they have only won four IHLC games, holding the title for a single game in each reign. However, with women’s hockey getting more competitive every day, look for the Naisleijonat to become a more dominant player on the world stage.
