Women's national coach Jeff MacLeod“The roster for the upcoming training camp is already very close to the potential team for the Olympic Games. Therefore, it’s important that we come together as a unit and review our structure once again. With the games against Austria, we also expect a strong opponent, which will allow us to observe our team under competitive conditions. However, our focus is also on the aspects beyond the two games – on the system, tactics, and adjustments we’ve made. This training camp is intended to give us additional time before the Olympics to internalize these changes. That’s why it’s crucial to review and solidify all the changes and also work together on the details off the ice.”
