The Shenzhen Vanke Rays ({{zh|s=深圳万科阳光}}) were a women's ice hockey team that played in the 2017–18 season of the Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL). They were based in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China and played at the Shenzhen Dayun Arena. The team was developed along with the Kunlun Red Star WIH as part of the Chinese Ice Hockey Association (CIHA) in an effort to grow interest in ice hockey in China in preparation for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.{{cite web |url=https://www.theicegarden.com/2017/8/14/16093244/china-international-transfers-and-the-rules-of-expansion-cwhl-kunlun-red-stars-vanke-ray-iihf|title=Growing the Game in China: International Transfers and the Rules of Expansion|publisher=www.theicegarden.com|access-date=August 22, 2017}} Both teams debuted in the 2017–18 CWHL season.

In 2018, the CWHL contracted the Rays' membership after one season to focus solely on the Kunlun Red Star team in China.{{cite web |url=http://www.thecwhl.com/cwhl-feature-six-teams-2018-19 |title=CWHL to Feature Six Teams in 2018-19 |publisher=CWHL |date=July 16, 2018}} Shortly after, Kunlun Red Star was rebranded as the Shenzhen KRS Vanke Rays as the CWHL integrated the two teams.{{cite web |url= http://www.thecwhl.com/kunlun-red-stars-announce-team-name-change |title= Kunlun Red Stars Announce Team Name Change|publisher= Canadian Women's Hockey League |author= Maura Sun |date=3 August 2018 | access-date=8 August 2018}}
