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.

Mapping international women's hockey tournaments in Europe: WEHT, WECN and WW 2026
Image description: A partial map of Europe with tournament logos (and some other, barely visible) information about the tournaments described below.
I was planning to wait a bit to making further updates on my map of arenas where you can find women's hockey, but I discovered the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) was kicking off the Women's European Cup of Nations today, and I couldn't let that go unshared. So my terrible planned pun of "now WEHT am I going to talk about?” is a little premature because, as of writing, the WEHT is in full swing in Kloten.
I will undoubtedly have more to say about the Women's Euro Hockey Tour after the Women's Sport Collective event there tomorrow, not to mention the games I'll be in the stands for on Saturday.
So what's new on my map of arenas where women's hockey teams play?
