History
The first ever Norwegian national under-18 gathering was held 12–14 December 2008 in Hønefoss. The team would enter 2009 IIHF World Women's U18 Championship – Division I, which were held in Chambéry, France from 28 December 2008 to 2 January 2009. Birger Aaserud og Kjersti Malo Dyb were the coaches chosen to lead the national team.
At their very first World Championship tournament, they faced Japan, France, Slovakia and Austria. They lost all of their matches and ended last in the group with a goal deposit of 9–16. Japan earned a promotion, but since Division I is the lowest division, Norway avoided relegation.
The 2010 IIHF World Women's U18 Championship – Division I will be held 3–9 April in Piešťany, Slovakia. They will again face France, Slovakia and Austria, as well as relegated team Switzerland, and new team Kazakhstan. They lost four of the matches, but they got their first WC-win against Kazakhstan, and ended 5th in the group. Switzerland ended up with the promotion.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“He wrote in prison, not a History of the World, like Raleigh, but an American book which I think will live longer than that. I do not know of such words, uttered under such circumstances, and so copiously withal, in Roman or English or any history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“When the coherence of the parts of a stone, or even that composition of parts which renders it extended; when these familiar objects, I say, are so inexplicable, and contain circumstances so repugnant and contradictory; with what assurance can we decide concerning the origin of worlds, or trace their history from eternity to eternity?”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
