The Switzerland women's ice hockey league (German: Leistunsklasse A (LKA), French: Ligue nationale A (LNA), Italian: Lega Nazionale A) is an amateur women's ice hockey league in Switzerland. It is the top tier in the Swiss women's hockey league system and is organized by the Regio League, an organ of the Swiss Ice Hockey Federation in charge of organizing amateur hockey in Switzerland.

History

With the creation of several women's ice hockey clubs in the early 1980s, the Swiss Ice Hockey Federation incorporates this aspect of hockey in its organisation in 1984. During the 1985–86 season, an unofficial championship was played. The following season, the first official championship, called Leistunsklasse A, was played, won by EHC Kloten's women's team, the Kloten Specials.

With the growing interest, a second tier is established from the 1988–89 season. Two years later, foreign players are allowed to play. Several big names in women's hockey then come play in Switzerland such as Andria Hunter, Riikka Nieminen and France St. Louis to name a few. The arrival of imports coincides with the domination of SC Lyss who won four titles in five years. The women's section had become an independent club, the DHC Lyss, when they won their fourth titles in 1997. In 1995, a third division was introduced.

From the 2001–02 edition onward, a final four tournament is held to determine a champion. The then reigning champion SC Reinach retains its crown before winning a third in a row the following season with only a 9 players squad. Since the 2005–06 season, playoffs have been introduced. The HC Lugano Ladies Team proved to be the best with this format, winning four titles in five years.[1]
