Czechia Invited 46 Players To First Women's Hockey Olympic Camp Ahead Of 2026
Czechia will bring together 46 women for their summer camp between July 23-28 to begin forming their roster for the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics.
"From my point of view, the Olympic camp is one of the most important parts of our four-year work," said general manager Tereza Sadilová in a translated statement. "We already have experience with the world's biggest sporting event, we know how demanding the Olympics are. We want to use the experience from Beijing and do our best for success. The clear goal is a medal."
