World for Ice Hockey needs to organize at least two women’s world championships before presenting a proposal to the Board of Directors of the International Paralympic Committee to be included as a single women’s sport in the Paralympics of 2030.
The hockey at the Paralympic Games is currently mixed gender, but only three women, two from Norway, one from China, have participated. It is the main reason why winter games have a pronounced gender gap, with women who represent only 24 percent of 564 athletes in Beijing.
As a non -paralympic sport, the female hockey does not fall under the umbrella of Hockey Canada, although the foundation of the ruling body is a key sponsor, and the national team does not receive funds from Sport Canada or possess the podium.
