The 2022–23 SDHL season was the sixteenth ice hockey season of the Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL). The season began on 16 September 2022 and concluded on 26 February 2023. Göteborg HC withdrew from the league on 2 November 2022, reducing the number of teams to nine for the remainder of the regular season.

The playoffs began on 1 March and concluded on 20 March 2023. Luleå HF/MSSK swept Brynäs IF Dam in the playoff finals to claim the club's sixth Swedish Championship title.

Teams[]

All ten teams from the 2021–22 SDHL season returned for the 2022–23 season. The increasing number of import players was reflected in the nationalities of team captains: AIK, Brynäs IF, HV71, and Luleå HF/MSSK had Finnish captains; Göteborg HC, Leksands IF, and SDE HF had Canadian captains; Linköping had a Norwegian captain; and Djurgårdens and MoDo had Swedish captains.

On 2 November 2022, Göteborg HC announced its withdrawal from the league. The club opted to withdraw in an effort to avoid declaring bankruptcy, which would have also required the cessation of all of the club’s minor, junior, and para ice hockey activities.[1] In addition to the club’s financial problems, the team had also failed to attract enough Swedish players to meet SDHL requirements.[2]

Regular season[]

The 2022–23 SDHL season schedule originally comprised 36 games per team, in which each team would play every other team four times – twice at home and twice away.

Standings[]

When Göteborg HC withdrew from the league in early November, they had earned four points in thirteen games and was ranked last in the league. Their record included one win, one overtime loss, and eleven regulation losses, with a goal difference of –52 (8 goals for, 60 goals against).

In order to maintain an equal number of games played between the remaining nine teams, the SDHL selected to remove the games played by Göteborg HC from the official standings, reducing the number of games played by each team to 32 for the season. All statistics from games played against Göteborg HC were stricken from the record.
