2023 Women's World Challenge Last updated August 30, 2025
International ice hockey competition
The 2023 Women's World Challenge (or for sponsorship reasons, the 2023 Women's World Challenge presented by Citi ) was the 2nd edition of this Para Ice Hockey world competition made for women's teams. This tournament acts as a precursor for a fully fledged Women's World Championship in 2025. [ 1] For the second time, the tournament was held in Green Bay , Wisconsin in the United States . United States were the defending champions and successfully defended their title after beating Canada , 2–0, in the Gold Medal match. [ 2] While Team World defeated Great Britain 7–0 to claim bronze.
Host selection Green Bay , in Wisconsin , was given the hosting rights after holding the inaugural edition in 2022. [ 3]
Teams Originally, five teams were going to take part: Canada , United States , Great Britain , Team Europe and Team Asia. [ 3]
As there were problems related to logistics and other issues, the Asia team could not be formed, so the World Team with the remaining players was formed again.
Just like in 2022 , Citi is the sponsor for the competition. [ 4]
Broadcasting rights The games were streamed live on the Green Bay 2023 website, World Para Ice Hockey Facebook page and Paralympics Games YouTube channel.
Rosters In total, the players came from 11 countries. [ 5]
