The Canadians took silver at last year’s world championships in Czechia and at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics in February.

Cheverie said in a release that she’s “incredibly proud” and honoured to lead the national team.

“Growing up playing hockey in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, I had big dreams of one day being part of Team Canada,” she said. “I didn’t know then that my path would be through coaching, and I am extremely grateful that this journey has now given me the opportunity to lead this program. I am excited to work alongside an amazing group of athletes and staff as we continue building together.”

The coaching staff were selected by Danièle Sauvageau, general manager of Canada’s women’s hockey program, Scott Salmond, senior vice-president of high performance and hockey operations, and director of hockey operations Dylan Rockwell.

Hockey Canada also announced Thursday that former Vegas Golden Knights head coach Bruce Cassidy will serve as a special assistant to Sauvageau for the 2026-27 season, while Michael Hirshfeld of the Ottawa Charge and Manon Rhéaume of the PWHL’s expansion team in Detroit will act as assistant general managers.
