the women's team

(Kangwon, South Korea; 30 January 1999) (Sapporo, Japan; 18 February 2017) (Aomori, Japan; 31 January 2003) 29–0 (Changchun, China; 29 January 2007) The South Korean women's national ice hockey team (; recognized as Korea by IIHF)) is controlled by the Korea Ice Hockey Association (KIHA). In 2017, the team was promoted to Division I, Group B of the Ice Hockey Women's World Championship after winning the Division II, Group A tournament. As of 2022, the team was ranked 18th in the world.

The South Korean women's national team competed in the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics after being granted automatic entry as the host country by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). In an effort to boost their competitiveness for the Olympics, the program has recruited several North American players with Korean ancestry. In January 2018, it was announced that a unified Korean team would take part in the games, including players from North Korea. KIHA president Chung Mong-won hired Sarah Murray to coach the team.

A movie about the South Korean women's ice hockey team was released in South Korea in August 2016.
