history

In 1986, the "Swiss Selection" was founded in Switzerland, a national selection team of the best players in the country, which took part in April 1987 in the first unofficial "World Tournament" in Toronto. The Swiss national women's team emerged from this team. At the first official World Cup in Canada in 1990 , this reached fifth place behind Canada, the United States, Finland and Sweden. She achieved the best placings with third place at the European Championships in 1995 and at the World Championships in 2012 .

While the national selection narrowly missed qualifying for the 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City - a 2-2 win against Japan at the qualifying tournament in Engelberg was their undoing - the Swiss women qualified four years later for the 2006 Winter Olympics . The qualifying tournament took place in Beijing and the Swiss team secured a starting place for the Olympic ice hockey tournament with a narrow 3-2 win over China. Claudia Riechsteiner's winning goal to make it 3-2 came six seconds before the end of the game. Kathrin Lehmann provided the assist : “ The score was 2-2 and we still needed a goal. I still remember how I won the face-off, then I just saw the red lamp light up and the cheering was incredible. ”At the 2006 Olympic tournament, the Swiss women finished seventh.

With a very young team, with an average age of just under 22, the Swiss women achieved fifth place at the 2010 Winter Olympics . The team secured fifth place after a 2-1 penalty shootout against Russia. In addition to center forward Stefanie Marty , who scored the ninth goal in the tournament, especially goalkeeper Florence Schelling was outstanding .

The Swiss women's national ice hockey team achieved their greatest success so far in 2012 at the World Cup in Burlington , USA , when they surprisingly won the bronze medal. Goalie Florence Schelling again played a major role in the team's success and was the only European woman to be elected to the tournament's all-star team.
