Women's national coach Jeff MacLeod Regarding the international match against Japan: “We respect the Japanese team and have a good relationship with their coaches. Their game is fast and technically skilled, so it will be a really good test for both sides. We will have to do without three players who are still playing in the PWHL at that time – that's a slight change. We want to be playing our usual style in January and make sure we're ready for Milan. Our players need to be optimally prepared, no matter who we're playing against. Both nations are preparing for the Olympic Games, so we expect a high level of play in this game so close to the start in Milan.”
