History
editIce hockey has traditionally been regarded as a men's sport in Kyrgyzstan, with a women's team only being formed in 2020 when a group of schoolgirls established the team Shapak.[1][2]
A national team was eventually formed and took part in the 2023 IIHF Women's Asia and Oceania Championship in Bangkok, Thailand. Kyrgyzstan finished seventh in its first women's tournament sanctioned by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF).[3][4][5]
