Finland named their women's national team for the 2026 World Championships, which opn November 6 in Denmark. 

The roster will include eight players who will be in the PWHL this season, although that group will not include their best defender Ronja Savolainen, who will miss the tournament. Finland will also have five first-time players on the roster including Kerttu Kuja-Halkola, Nella Berg, Tuuli Tallinen, Emmi Juusela, and Sofia Nuutinen. 

Head coach Tero Lehterä called his team "very hungry and very mobile" in a translated news release by the Finnish Ice Hockey Association. 

Finland lost to Sweden and Czechia this week at the Women's Euro Hockey Tour but did manage to beat Switzerland.

Absent up front from Finland's Olympic roster are Ida Kuoppala and Emilia Vesa. Netminder Anni Keisala retired from hockey following the 2025-26 season as well.
