Carla MacLeod

[upbeat music] Welcome to Good Game with Sarah Spain, where we're happy to see the strategy of add DeWanna Bonner, win playoff games is still working.

It's Monday, October 5th, and on today's show, Ottawa Charge head coach Carla MacLeod joins us to discuss how a routine mammogram led to a breast cancer diagnosis and a transformational year, the way her team surrounded her with love and support while she underwent treatment, and how she's preparing for the upcoming PWHL season with four more expansion teams in the mix.

Plus, East and West divisions, a bunch of Easter eggs we still haven't found, and another reminder that women's sports is the good place.

It's all coming up right after this.

Alberta Hockey Hall of Famer, Wisconsin Badgers Hall of Famer.

She took a puck to the face mid-game in the second season of the PWHL, and she still came back for more.

It's Carla MacLeod.

Hi, Carla.

Couple more from Mark Johnson.

Uh, last week, uh, before they, uh, went to New York to open up their season, uh, there was a young lady, uh, on the opposite bench during an inter squad scrimmage, Karla MacLeod, former Badgers All-American Hall of Famer.

Uh, she's battled through, um, through breast cancer, but continues to do a great job, uh, promoting this sport.

Um, you know, obviously her time, uh, in, with Japan, with Czechia, what she's done in the PWHL, it's nice to have Karla back, wasn't it?
