The women’s list is officially over for 2022! While it is much later than I would have preferred, it did finish a few days earlier than last year. We aimed to expand to 50 players and reports this year, and I’m glad to hit it, even if we could not have footage of at least one highlight for every player. With the list over, it’s time to look at a few random notes and statistics.

In regards to next year, we will be keeping the list at 50 players. The list will also be able to start likely in the summer as I will not be hoping for additional footage with IIHF tournaments. All hockey from the 2022-23 season will count towards the rankings, outside of the makeup IIHF U18 tournament played in September 2022.
