Switzerland qualified to attend the first three IIHF Championnats mondiaux (in 1990, 1992, and 1994).

Switzerland won the bronze medal at the 1995 European A Championship which was held from March 19-26, 1995 in Riga, Latvia. In 1996, Switzerland will be competing at the Christmas Cup Tournament in Denmark and at the European A Championship in Russia.

The league structure of the teams in the Swiss women's leagues underwent a realignment at the end of the 1994-95 season. There are now three women's leagues in Switzerland. There is an A Division which has 6 teams that compete for the Swiss National Championship. There is also a B Division which has 6 teams. The third and lowest division, C, is split into 3 groups of teams, based on geographical location. This organization is new for the 1995-96 season. Previously there were two divisions (A and B), of which the B division was split into 4 groups.
Due to these new changes in the structure of the Swiss leagues, in the B Division there were a lot of qualifying games after the 94-95 regular season. They were played according to the following procedures:
The two bottom teams of A Division move down to Division B.
Play-off Eastern Groups (1A + 1B): 1. of Group 1 A : 1. of Group 1 B --> Winner = 1. East / Loser = 2. East Qualifying for A Division: 1. Group 3 (West) : 1. Group 2 (Central) 1. Group 2 (Central) : 1. Group 1 (East) 1. Group 1 (East) : 1. Group 3 (West) The top team moves to Division A. The other two teams are qualified for Division B. Qualifying for B Division: 2. Group 3 (West) : 2. Group 2 (Central) 2. Group 2 (Central) : 2. Group 1 (East) 2. Group 1 (East) : 2. Group 3 (West) The two top teams are qualified for Division B. The bottom team goes to the B2 Division. All other teams move also down to B2 Division.

And last, but not least, is a picture of my favourite player on Team Switzerland, Prisca Mosimann (nickname: Bizu) (email: S_MOSIMA@kl.unibe.ch)! She played defense for Team Switzerland at the 1994 Championnats mondiaux. She played for DHC Langenthal of the Swiss Women's National League A previously, but is playing for SC Lyss of the Swiss Women's National League A for the 1995-96 season. She competed in the 1995 Christmas Cup and will be going to the 1996 European A Championship in March 1996.
