Women's Ice Hockey in Great Britain is administered by the English and Scottish Ice Hockey Associations. It is one of the fastest growing areas of the game.
The British Women's Leagues were formed with five teams in 1984. The founder members of the league were:
- Brighton Amazons
- Cambridge University
- Oxford University
- Peterborough Ravens
- Solihull Vixens
Of those teams, only two are still in league play today, Oxford University and Solihull, while the Cambridge University has a non-league team. After the Ravens folded, a new team, the Penguins was set up in Peterborough.
