History[edit]
The Swedish team had traditionally been the fourth-best women's team in the world,
behind Canada, USA and Finland. During the 1997 World Championship, Sweden
qualifyied for the 1998 Olympic tournament in Nagano, ending up 5th.[2] However,
the team has shown steady improvement since 2001, winning bronze medals at the 2002
Winter Olympics, the 2005 Women's World Ice Hockey Championships, and the 2007
Women's World Ice Hockey Championships, and a silver medal at the 2006 Winter
Olympics. The current head coach is Niclas H�gberg, who was hired on 4 March 2010.
[3] On 31 August 2011, Canada was bested by Sweden for just the second time in 66
all-time international meetings. Canada suffered from a 4�1 second-period deficit
and lost by a 6�4 score.

Records[edit]
Sweden is the first country in the history of the sport other than Canada and the
United States to compete in the finals of any international women's hockey
tournament.
On 7 November 2008, in Lake Placid, Sweden defeated Canada for the first time in
women's ice hockey with the 2�1 win in overtime at 4 Nations Cup.
