Английская Википедия:2023–24 Naisten Liiga season
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox sports season
The 2023–24 Шаблон:Lang season is the forty-first season of the Шаблон:Lang, the premier level of women's ice hockey in Finland, since the league's establishment as the Шаблон:Lang in 1982. The regular season began on 9 September 2023 and will conclude on 25 February 2024.
HIFK are the reigning champions of both the 2022–23 regular season and the 2023 Aurora Borealis Cup.
Off-season
Dissolution of Lukko
Lukko unexpectedly withdrew from the Naisten Liiga and the team was dissolved in April 2023, just weeks after they’d successfully defended their place in the league in the 2023 Naisten Liiga qualification. Rauman Lukko ry, the team's operating association, cited difficulties in recruiting and retaining players as the principal reasons behind the decision.[1]
Lukko players were not consulted prior to the announcement. Captain Maija Koski was shocked by the news and felt that the team could have been saved if avenues of communication had been opened between the association and Lukko players.[2]
Lukko's departure from the Naisten Liiga decreased the number of teams in the league from ten to nine for the 2023–24 season. The standard 36-game season was reduced to 32 games per team to account for the four game that would have been played against Lukko.
Five Lukko players – forwards Carolina Grönroos, Maija Koski, and Amanda Julkunen, and defensemen Hanna Brofelt and Mette Karru – transferred to TPS in Turku, about Шаблон:Convert southeast of Rauma. Centre Aliisa Toivonen, Lukko's leading scorer in the 2022–23 season, signed with Kiekko-Espoo.

Off–season | |||
RoKi | Tuomas Liitola | Teemu Koivula | Liitola departed RoKi in June 2023 to accept the head coaching position with Skellefteå AIK in the Swedish Nationella Damhockeyligan (NDHL). He had served as RoKi's head coach for five seasons, during which the team earned promotion to the Naisten Liiga and consistently defended its place in the league. The vacancy left by Liitola was filled by 26 year old Koivula, a recent physical education graduate of the Lapland University of Applied Sciences. Koivula previously coached junior ice hockey teams of Rovaniemen Kiekko (RoKi), including RoKi U16 boys' team in the U16 SM-sarja during the 2022–23 season.[3] |
Team Kuortane | Mira Kuisma | Juuso Nieminen | After four seasons as head coach of both the Finnish national U18 team and Team Kuortane, Kuisma was appointed head coach of the national U18 team on a full-time basis.[4] Nieminen joins Team Kuortane after several seasons coaching in the junior department of RoKi, most recently serving as head coach to the RoKi U18 team in the men's U18 Mestis during the 2021–22 season. |

Mid–season | |||
Kärpät | Sanna Lankosaari | Saija Tarkki (interim) | On 13 October 2023, Kärpät announced that Sanna Lankosaari had stepped down from the head coaching position. Following Lankosaari's departure, Kärpät youth hockey supervisor and former Kärpät Naiset general manager Saija Tarkki took over as interim head coach during the search for a replacement. Lankosaari initiated the termination of her contract after Kärpät amassed only six points in the first eight games of the season and ranked eighth in the league, ahead of only RoKi.[29] |
Kärpät | Saija Tarkki (interim) | Satu Kiipeli | Kiipeli was revealed as the new head coach of Kärpät on 31 October 2023, less than three weeks after Lankosaari's resignation. She had served as an assistant coach on Lankosaari's coaching team since the 2022–23 season and was previously the head coach of Kärpät Akatemia in the Naisten Mestis and Naisten Suomi-sarja during 2016 to 2019. A former member of the Finnish national team, she participated in the 2006 Winter Olympics and in two IIHF World Championships. Her playing career was highlighted by three NCAA Championship titles with the Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs and both an Aurora Borealis Cup victory and an IIHF European Women's Champions Cup bronze medal with Kärpät.[30] |

Awards and honors
Player of the Month
- September 2023: Salla Sivula (G), Ilves
Sivula dominated the goaltending table in the first month of the season, leading the league with a save percentage of 95.2 across five games in net. She faced 157 shots against while recording a win for every start, including shutouts against KalPa and HPK. The Finnish Ice Hockey Association highlighted that "Sivula has made top saves in every match she has played and [has] given her team a chance to win."[36] - October 2023: Lisette Täks (F), Kiekko-Espoo
Täks earned a point in every Kiekko-Espoo game during October, extending her scoring streak to ten games and recording two hat-tricks (against KalPa and Kärpät). She finished the month with 12 goals and 5 assists for 18 points in seven games. In summation, the Finnish Ice Hockey Association noted that "her puck skills are very strong, she is a hard skater, and a good competitor."[37] - November 2023: Elisa Holopainen (F), KalPa
Holopainen sustained a leg injury in late-January and rehabilitation kept her from competition for ten months. She made her return to the Naisten Liiga on 28 October and scored a hat-trick in her season debut.[38] KalPa extended their win streak, which began with Holopainen's return, and claimed victories in all five matches during the month of November. In that period, Holopainen scored eight goals and tallied six assists for fourteen points – a rate of 2.8 points per game. Highlights included scoring the game-winning goal in overtime against Kärpät and the shootout winning goal against Kiekko-Espoo. The Finnish Ice Hockey Association observed that "the impact of one player on the whole team has been incredible."[39]
