History

The India women's national ice hockey team played its first game in March 2016 at the 2016 IIHF Women's Challenge Cup of Asia Division I tournament.[2][3] In their opening game of the tournament India lost 1–8 to Singapore.[3] India went on to lose their other three games of the tournament to Chinese Taipei, Malaysia and Thailand, finishing in last place with zero points.[4] Their 0–13 loss to Chinese Taipei at the tournament was their biggest defeat in international competition at the time.[1] At the end of the tournament Noor Jahan was named best goaltender by the media.[5]

They competed in the 2017 Asia Challenge Cup, where the team finished fourth in round robin stage. It was in this tournament where India won their first ever match as they defeated Philippines by the score of 4–3.[6] But the team also suffered their worst defeat against Thailand by the score-line of 1–20.[7] India finished the 2019 Asia Challenge Cup Division I in the third position ahead of Kuwait whom they defeated 11–0.[8] In the 2023 Asia and Oceania Championship the team reached the semifinals but lost to Thailand and in the bronze medal match lost to Singapore 1–3.[9][10]
