🇮🇹 ITALY (ITA) Women’s National Ice Hockey Team (1993-)

Italy only emerged in the IHLC landscape as hosts of the 2006 Olympics in Turin, narrowly missing a chance to play for the IHLC after the title left their group before the Games began. But their opportunity came up two decades later, when hosting the 2026 Games in Milan, getting their first crack at the title as they continue to climb up the women’s hockey ranks.
