Since the first-ever IIHF World Women’s Championship in 1990, female hockey has grown exponentially. The
following statistics chart the growth of registered female hockey players in Canada.
Hockey has a rich and profound history in Canada, so much so that it has helped grow the game in other
countries. Some of these historical moments include the first documented female hockey game in 1892, the
first-ever IIHF World Women’s Championship in 1990, female hockey’s inclusion in the 1998 Olympic Winter
Games and, most recently, the inaugural IIHF World Women’s Under-18 Championship in 2008.
