Sweden is a trailblazer in hockey because it has allowed body checking in the women’s game since 2022 .
It has opened up a new world for women's players, who say they feel more empowered playing the game the way it was intended.
Preventing concussions was the main driver behind the introduction of checking, as counterintuitive as that may seem.
Statistics show the number of concussions sustained by players has dropped since 2018 .
According to research by Lund University in Sweden , 88% of the 159 players from the league who responded to a questionnaire said they were in favor of checking.
USA Hockey and Hockey Canada do not allow checking in girls and women's hockey.
The IIHF said its rulebook “does not prohibit competitive body contact between players”.
