# 2024–25 Women's Euro Hockey Tour

The 2024–25 Women's Euro Hockey Tour was the first Women's Euro Hockey Tour (WEHT) season following the joint commitment of Czechia, Finland, Sweden, and Switzerland to host and participate in the tour through 2028. It was the fifth season since the revision and expansion of the tournament format in 2018.
The season comprised four tournaments, hosted in Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, and Czechia, respectively. The national teams of Czechia, Finland, and Switzerland participated in all four tournaments. Sweden participated in the first three tournaments but did not participate in the fourth due to a scheduling conflict with the Olympic qualification, which was held in Sweden at the same time. Canada and the United States participated in the December tournament in Finland.

The 2024–25 season began in Switzerland with the 4-Nations Tournament in Kloten during 29 to 31 August 2024. The core WEHT national teams – Czechia, Finland, Switzerland, and Sweden – participated in the tournament.

## 6-Nations in Tampere

The third event of the season was a 6-Nations Tournament in Tampere, Finland during 11 to 15 December 2024. In addition to the four core WEHT teams, the Canada women's national development team and the United States collegiate women’s national select team participated. Games were played at Hakametsä, officially known as Tampereen jäähalli or Tampere Ice Stadium. Unlike the other 2024–25 WEHT tournaments, the six-nations in Tampere was played in two stages: a group stage followed by a placement round.
It was reported that the national programs involved had tacitly agreed to focus their roster selections on young players in senior national team pipelines. While such an agreement was not explicitly announced by any national team, the rosters of all six teams were dominated by players in the 18 to 24 age group, many of whom were actively playing or were committed to play college ice hockey at the time of the tournament.
