Women's national coach Jeff MacLeod:“We had a good 4-day preparation phase in Füssen last week, which enabled us to see the players again on and off the ice. We also had the opportunity to teach the athletes about the team structures and systems. We are now looking forward to part two of the World Cup preparations in order to further strengthen team cohesion and further develop our identity. Our test match against Denmark offers another good opportunity to build on our strengths and correct small deficits. All players have a positive attitude and work hard, so that we can start the upcoming World Cup well prepared.”
