Updates to the Map of Women's Hockey

The original Map of Women's Hockey in Switzerland was created as a custom Google Map in September 2025. I posted on LinkedIn about its creation in September 2025, and when I made major updates. I have captured those updates below, along with the subsequent updates. They are currently listed from oldest to newest.

Adding England's Women's National Ice Hockey League to the Map of Women's Hockey

When Nick Drage reposted my map of Swiss arenas where women's hockey teams play, as an example of making life easier for fellow (and, I would add, prospective) fans, I don't imagine that it was his intent to set me on a path of adding England's women's ice hockey teams to it. His support of my work combined with the thought of friends and colleagues across the channel, however, created a temptation I could not resist and I'm glad for it! 

Thanks to some well-structured data on the England Ice Hockey website it was actually quite quick, and I learned a few new things that will make it easier for me to improve the Switzerland and France entries (and that give me other ideas...).

Thank you, Nick, for your post, which inspired this update. I have not yet found data for the rest of the Isles, but I will keep looking and welcome any help I can get!

Here is the full map, including Switzerland (PFWL and SWHL B, C, and D), France (Elite A and B), and England (WNIHL) - and perhaps more depending on how long after I posted this you are seeing it.

And for those of you around Zug (and seeing this post on Saturday, October 25th, algorithm willing): let me know if you will, like me, be at the EVZ vs ZSC Lions Women's game at OYM hall at 17:30.

Note: this was adapted from a LinkedIn post, which can be found, with its original comments at https://www.linkedin.com/posts/heatherforce_when-nick-drage-reposted-my-map-of-swiss-share-7387730479002775552-NV23/.
