History
The first news of women playing hockey in Italy dates back to February 3, 1972, where at a village festival, a challenge between single and married women, who were all wearing figure skates, was staged on Lake Alleghe. Hockey activities began in Como and Agordo in 1984-85. The first official games were played, and a provincial championship was held in Veneto in 1985-86, between teams from the Belluno arena, which was won by Agordo. The official debut came later in Lombardy where, in addition to Como, Varese began play. Later, Milan (1989) and Bergamo also joined the group to play friendlies and local championships under the aegis of the U.I.S.P. (Unione Italiana Sport Popolari). The first national championship was held in 1990-91.[1]
