OTTAWA – Carla MacLeod says it won’t be easy reconciling her desire to coach hockey with her need for breast cancer treatment.

The coach of the PWHL’s Ottawa Charge and a two-time Olympic gold medallist for Canada feels she has the support of the hockey community in both.

MacLeod is optimistic she’ll continue coaching the Charge, and also the Czech women to the Olympic Games, but says there may be modifications to her time with both teams.
