The 2022–23 Euro Hockey Tour was the third season of the Euro Hockey Tour (EHT) since the tournament season format was revised and expanded in 2018.[1][2] It followed the 2019–20 Women's Euro Hockey Tour, as the 2020–21 and 2021–22 instances of the international ice hockey tournament season were not held due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The season comprised three five-nation tournaments, hosted in Finland, Sweden, and Germany, respectively. The national teams of Czechia, Finland, Germany, Sweden, and Switzerland participated in every tournament. The Russian national team was not invited to participate pursuant to the suspension of Russian teams from participation in all IIHF competitions and events on 1 March 2022 in response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[3]

Five Nations Tournament in Vierumäki[]

The 2022–23 season began with the Five Nations Tournament in Vierumäki (also stylized as “5 nations tournament”) during 8–12 November 2022. It was principally played at the Vierumäen jäähalli (Vierumäki ice hall) and Vierumäki 2, two ice rinks at the fi(Finnish Institute of Sport) in Vierumäki, Finland. Single matches were also played at the Gatorade Center in Turku and fi(Trio Areena) in Tikkurila.[4]

Finland swept the tournament to claim a decisive victory for the host nation. Finnish players also topped all of the statistics tables: Noora Tulus led tournament scoring with 7 points; Viivi Vainikka scored the most goals, with 5; and Anni Keisala topped the goaltending tables with a 96.3 save percentage and 1.00 goals against average.[5]

Five Nations Tournament in Ängelholm[]

The Five Nations Tournament in Ängelholm and Helsingborg (Swedish: 5-nationsturnering i Ängelholm och Helsingborg; also stylized as '5 Nations Tournament') was played during 13 December to 17 December 2022. Matches were held at two venues in Skåne County, Sweden: Catena Arena in Ängelholm and the sv(Olympiarinken) in Helsingborg.[11]

The tournament was another dominant showing for the Finns, who again swept all four of their matches. Switzerland placed second, losing only one game, and Swiss players ranked first on the scoring and goaltending statistics tables. Swiss centre Lara Stalder was an offensive powerhouse, scoring 5 goals and 10 points in four games to lead all skaters in goals and points; her 5 assists tied Finnish right winger Noora Tulus for most assists. Switzerland’s Saskia Maurer recorded both the best save percentage (96.5%) and the best goals against average (1.00) of all goaltenders.
