Czechia has played for bronze at four straight World Championships. They were ousted in the quarterfinals of the 2026 Olympic women's hockey tournament by Sweden. What went wrong for the nation, and where do they go from here?

Love to see Czechia investing in women’s hockey by starting a U-16 league. Joining the DFEL or the EWHL is probably the most pragmatic, but I also wonder if establishing international play, similar to the UWCL, might be another approach.
