History

The Chinese women's national team is ranked 7th in the world. China reached their hey day of women's hockey in the mid-90s 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 174 female players in 2011.[1]
