Women's Hockey at the 2030 Olympics Is Set to Feature 25-Player Rosters, Matching the Men
The change would match men’s 25-player rosters and comes as organizers bill the 2030 Games as the first Winter Olympics with gender balance.
- Women's hockey rosters for the 2030 Olympics in the French Alps are expected to expand to 25 players, an increase from 23, as quietly included in the event program released earlier this week.
- The men's side has utilized 25-player squads for each of the past four Winter Olympics, dating back to Sochi in 2014.
- Lyon will host Olympic hockey in four years, after Nice mayor Eric Ciotti opposed the plan to turn his city's soccer stadium into temporary rinks.
- The PWHL is expanding to 12 teams for its fourth season, reflecting the sport's continued growth since women's hockey debuted at the 1998 Nagano Games alongside NHL participation.
- Organizers describe these Winter Games as the first with gender balance, featuring 3,046 athletes across 126 events, with 1,525 women and 1,521 men competing.
