The IIHF Women’s Hockey Program When, in February 2010, after the completion of the Olympic Women’s Hockey tournament, IOC President Jacques Rogge issued a stern warning to the IIHF and the international ice hockey community that the women’s program could be in danger of elimination from the Olympic Winter Games, many saw it at first as a doomsday prophecy, foreshadowing the imminent death of the women’s game. However, the last 18 months have proven that Dr. Rogge’s comments may have been just the wake-up call the international ice hockey community needed, to help put the women’s side of the sport on the radar all over the world.
