GENEVA, Jan. 17 (Xinhua) -- The Swiss Ice Hockey Federation has named its 23-player women's ice hockey team for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

"I'm absolutely convinced about the firepower of our team and that we will continue our path at the Olympic Games," said Colin Muller, the team's head coach.
