It’s Elisa Dalessi’s first time with the Frauen-Nati at the Women’s Euro Hockey Tour (WEHT), so we spoke to her after her first game against Sweden. She summed it up and told us how she prepared for the tournament as she was initially planned as a back-up player.

We went back with the forward to her youth and very first playoff season 2021/22 in the Swiss Women’s League just being 15 years old, talked about the current situation for Ticino players without a team in the Women’s League, how she feels at her current team Hockey Club Davos Frauen.

Prior to the introduction of body checking in the Women’s League Elisa has welcomed this. We asked her if it has met her positive expectations and about her season’s goals with HC Davos Frauen and the Swiss national team.
