The newly established Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) held its first inaugural player draft this past Monday, where the six teams set to play in January 2024 selected their top player picks. Among them were Czech women who will head across the pond to lace up their skates in the highly anticipated women’s league.

Czech women will be able to make their mark on the professional ice hockey rink this coming year, as Czech talent were amongst those names selected on Monday’s first PWHL draft. Dominika Lásková, a 26-year-old defender who was part of the bronze medal winning Czech national women’s team for two consecutive years was selected in the fourth round of picks to play for Montreal’s new women’s club, making her the highest selected Czech player in the league.
