The IIHF has released a new microsite for the 2015 Women’s World Championship in Malmรถ, Sweden, worldwomen2015.com, and with it released the full schedule for the World Championship in March and April.
Current champions Canada will open the Worlds against the defending World Championship Gold Medal winners and perennial rivals the United States on opening day, while Finland faces Russia, Germany plays Switzerland, and Sweden takes on the winner of the Czechia / Japan playoff this November.
Theย International Hockey Lineal Championship will next be contended at the Four Nations Cup in November, all but guaranteeing that Canada, the U.S., Sweden or Finland will enter the tournament with the IHLC, and in all likelihood with the opening Canada-USA game being for the title.
