Overview[]

The 2018 IIHF Women's Challenge Cup of Asia began on 8 March 2018 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with games played at the Malaysia National Ice Skating Stadium (MyNISS).[1] The Women's competition was split into two tournaments for 2018 due to the increase from seven to eight teams.[1][2][3] The defending champions New Zealand's under-18 team (New Zealand U18), Thailand and Singapore returned after finishing in the top three of the 2017 tournament.[3][4][5] Chinese Taipei's under-18 team (Chinese Taipei U18) was included as the fourth team in the competition, making their debut in women's under-18 international competition.[5][6] India, the Philippines, the United Arab Emirates and Malaysia, who finished fourth through to seventh in 2017, were placed into the newly created Division I tournament.[3][2] Both 2018 tournaments ran alongside each other with all games being held at the Malaysia National Ice Skating Stadium.[1][2]

The tournament consisted of a single round-robin with each team competing in three games.[7] Chinese Taipei U18 won the tournament after winning all three of their games and finished first in the standings.[6][7] New Zealand U18 finished second after losing only to Chinese Taipei U18 and Thailand finished in third.[7] Thailand's Nuchanat Ponglerkdee and New Zealand's Harriet Fuller led the tournament in scoring with eight points each with Ponglerkdee also being named the most valuable player.[8][9] Wasunun Angkulpattanasuk of Thailand finished as the tournaments leading goaltender with a save percentage of 94.12 and was awarded best goaltender by the IIHF Directorate.[10][11] Chinese Taipei's Hsuan Wang was named best forward and Sirikarn Jittresin of Thailand was named best defenceman.[11]
