The biggest story in women’s hockey over the past two weeks was one that broke the same day we last published a Women’s Hockey Wednesday. (Goodness only knows what’ll happen today!)
A total of 43 players associated with the Swedish Women’s National Team (known colloquially as the Damkronorna or the “Women’s Crowns”), including all the players invited to the national team camp, issued a statement indicating that they would not be playing for the national team and that they would not attend the upcoming Five Nations tournament in Finland that kicked off this year’s European Hockey Tournament series.
