There remains a significant gap in international competition for women’s hockey players. Following the U-18 World Championships, there is no World Junior tournament like men’s hockey experiences. Instead, women’s hockey players must wait until they can make a senior national team before they can again represent their nation.<\/p>\n
It’s not for lack of talent, as several nations across the globe could field talented U-20, or potentially as the IIHF has discussed, U-22 rosters.<\/p>\n
