There's change coming at the top of Czechia's women's national team. Hired in 2022, Carla MacLeod led Czechia through multiple World Championship tournaments winning the nations first two bronze medals, and also coached Czechia at the 2026 Olympics.

MacLeod however, will not return as Czechia's head coach, instead choosing to focus on her health after being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2025, and her role in North America.

In her place, Czechia honed in on other PWHL coaches, and according to sources, Czechia's women's national team is set to name Vancouver Goldeneyes' head coach Brian Idalski as their next bench boss.

With Carla MacLeod not returning to her role as head coach of Czechia's women's national team, the job, according to sources, is set to be filled by Vancouver Goldeneyes head coach Brian Idalski.
