Luxembourg's First National Women's Hockey Team
Icehockey Luxembourg's Liam McEvoy & player Mara Wagner join Sam to discuss Luxembourg's first National Women's team.
The Fédération Luxembourgeoise de Hockey sur Glace (FLHG) is pleased to announce that from Sunday November6thuntil SaturdayNovember12th2022 thenewly-formed Luxembourg Women’s National Ice Hockey Team will travel to Kuwait City to compete in the 1stever IIHF-sanctioned Women’s Development Cup. The Development Cup was established in 2017 for IIHF members unable to compete in theworldwide governing body's world championships because they don't meet some of the organization's regulations, such as having a regulation-size ice rink in-country.While Luxembourg do meet the criteria to compete in the Men’s senior and Under 18 World Championships, there are not yet enough registered Women players with Luxembourgish nationality. The Development Cup allows Luxembourg to begin international competition with the support ofa few non-Luxembourg nationals. The long-term goal is to attract enough Luxembourgish female athletes to join ice hockey and therefore progress to competing in the IIHF Women’s World Championships
