The Chinese women's ice hockey team huddles before their game against Russia at the 2010 Winter Olympics.
The Chinese women's national ice hockey team (simplified Chinese: 中国国家女子冰球队; traditional Chinese: 中國國家女子冰球隊; pinyin: Zhōngguó Guójiā Nǚzǐ Bīngqiú Duì) is controlled by the Chinese Ice Hockey Association. China is ranked 7th in the world. China reached their hey day of women's hockey in the mid-90's when it was common for them to finish in 4th place mostly thanks to the "Great Wall of China" goaltender, Guo Hong, who is now retired. China has 179 female players, as of 2009. The head coach is Hannu Saintula of Finland.
