The 2022 U Sports Women's Ice Hockey Championship was held March 24–27, 2022, in Charlottetown, P.E.I., to determine a national champion for the 2021–22 U Sports women's ice hockey season.[2][3] The top-seeded Concordia Stingers defeated the sixth-seeded Nipissing Lakers to win the third championship in program history and first since the back-to-back titles in 1998 and 1999.[4] The Stingers did not allow a goal during the tournament with three straight shutouts and all but one of the 11 games featured a shutout.

Host

The tournament was played at MacLauchlan Arena at the University of Prince Edward Island.[3] It is the second consecutive tournament to be hosted by UPEI, as well as their second time hosting overall.[5] This was the first U Sports women's ice hockey championship played since 2019 following two years of cancelled tournaments due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada.[6][7]
