The season comprised three five-nation tournaments, hosted in Finland, Sweden, and Germany, respectively. The national teams of Czechia, Finland, Germany, Sweden, and Switzerland participated in every tournament. The Russian national team was not invited to participate pursuant to the suspension of Russian teams from participation in all IIHF competitions and events on 1 March 2022 in response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.^[3]

Five Nations Tournament in Vierumäki

The 2022–23 season began with the Five Nations Tournament in Vierumäki (also stylized as “5 nations tournament”) during 8–12 November 2022.

Five Nations Tournament in Ängelholm

The Five Nations Tournament in Ängelholm and Helsingborg (Swedish: 5-nationsturnering i Ängelholm och Helsingborg; also stylized as '5 Nations Tournament') was played during 13 December to 17 December 2022. Matches were held at two venues in Skåne County, Sweden: Catena Arena in Ängelholm and the Olympiarinken [sv] in Helsingborg.^[11]

The tournament was another dominant showing for the Finns, who again swept all four of their matches. Switzerland placed second, losing only one game, and Swiss players ranked first on the scoring and goaltending statistics tables. Swiss centre Lara Stalder was an offensive powerhouse, scoring 5 goals and 10 points in four games to lead all skaters in goals and points; her 5 assists tied Finnish right winger Noora Tulus for most assists. Switzerland’s Saskia Maurer recorded both the best save percentage (96.5%) and the best goals against average (1.00) of all goaltenders.

Finland earned another four-game sweep to claim first place in every tournament of the 2022–23 season. Six Finns featured on the top-ten scoring list, including top-scorer of the tournament Petra Nieminen (4+3), and Emilia Kyrkkö led all goaltenders with a 96.3 save percentage and 0.33 goals against average in her senior national team debut. Czechia had their strongest showing of the season, winning three of four games to place second in the standings. In third place, Sweden split their games with two wins and two losses, recording a goal difference of +2. Switzerland beat Germany to secure fourth place and tournament host Germany was held winless to finish in fifth.^[16]
