The 2025 PWHL season was a whirlwind, and for us at The Czech Women’s Hockey Report, it marked our first full year covering the league. What a ride it’s been. From following these players since Day 1 of training camps, to witnessing our first-ever PWHL game in person during the electric Raleigh Takeover Tour (a showdown between Ottawa and Minnesota that, as fate would have it, previewed the Walter Cup Final), this season brought women’s hockey to life in ways we never could have imagined. Our journey even took us across continents, culminating in a trip to Czechia to cover the national team at the 2025 IIHF World Championship. It was unforgettable, and just the beginning of what we hope will be many years of celebrating these athletes and their stories.

In this article, we look back at Year Two of the PWHL through a Czech lens, recapping the biggest moments, toughest battles, and breakout performances of the nine Czech players who suited up this season. From Denisa Krížová’s repeat Walter Cup championship, to Dominika Lásková’s resilient return, here’s where each player stands heading into Year 3, and what might be next!

Denisa Křížová (Minnesota Frost)

*Source: Official PWHL - Game 4 PWHL Semi-Finals MINN vs. Toronto*

Let’s start with the most important fact: Denisa Křížová is a TWO-TIME WALTER CUP CHAMP! The 30-year-old veteran has done it again, playing a key role in Minnesota’s run to a repeat championship.

Once more, she brought her signature consistency to the Minnesota Frost throughout the 2024–25 season. In the regular season, she recorded 4 goals and 5 assists (9 points) over 30 games, chipping in secondary scoring and finishing with a +6 rating, all while taking on the two-way role that’s defined her career.

A known franchise figure and original 8th-round draft pick, Křížová embraced whatever role was needed this season, from penalty killing to mentoring younger players, and her steady presence helped stabilize the Frost’s forward depth, even when the stat sheet didn’t reflect her impact. Once again, Denisa proved that veteran poise and depth don’t always show up in points totals. Anyone watching her throughout the season could see the effort, energy, and tenacity she brought to every shift.

Perhaps most importantly, during Minnesota’s championship playoff run, Křížová found chemistry on a hard-working line with the always electric Britta Curl, contributing timely plays even if not always on the scoresheet. While she didn’t register any postseason points, she came close on several occasions and brought the hustle and structure that defined her line.

As one of only a few returnees from the pre-PWHL Minnesota Whitecaps era, Křížová has become a fan favorite and a symbol of continuity for the Frost. Head coach Ken Klee has praised Křížová’s reliability, calling her the kind of player every championship team needs. Indeed, her veteran leadership and willingness to play any role were invaluable during Minnesota’s run to a second straight Walter Cup title. With her value proven, Křížová will enter next season looking to build on her legacy as a foundational piece, and we expect she’ll be back next season continuing to carve out her own legacy. And we eagerly await pictures of the cup celebration over the summer (Cocoa Puffs anyone?!)

Klára Hymlárová (Minnesota Frost)

Rookie forward Klára Hymlárová went from a quiet regular season to a soft-breakout postseason, becoming one of Minnesota’s lesser-known, but no less important, playoff heroes. The 26-year-old had a modest debut campaign, scoring just 1 goal (in the final game of the regular season) and adding 1 assist over 29 games. Often relegated to limited minutes on the fourth line, she spent most of the year adjusting to the pace and demands of pro-level hockey.

But Hymlárová’s late-season surge proved to be a turning point. In the Walter Cup Finals, she shined with points in three of the four games, tallying 1 goal and 4 assists, leading all rookies in playoff assists and points. Notably, she scored Minnesota’s only goal in Game 1 to force overtime, then delivered assists on the game-winning goals in both Game 3 (a triple-overtime epic) and Game 4’s Cup-clinching overtime win. It marked the first time in her pro career she’d recorded points in back-to-back games, and she couldn’t have picked a better moment to rise to the occasion. Her energetic forechecking and composed play gave the Frost a massive boost, proving how so-called “depth players” can become difference-makers when it matters most.

Hymlárová’s playoff heroics also made history. When Minnesota sealed the championship in Game 4 OT, she became the first St. Cloud State alumna to win the Walter Cup, having already become the first-ever St. Cloud player to crack a PWHL opening roster. Her performance didn’t go unnoticed. Hymlárová led all PWHL rookies in playoff assists (4), tied for the rookie lead in points (5), and even ranked top five among all players in postseason scoring. Her growth under pressure spoke volumes about the potential many felt had been simmering quietly throughout the regular season.

The Frost coaching staff clearly believed in her, and that trust showed in the playoffs. Head coach Ken Klee, who famously organized his lines by color rather than by traditional top-to-bottom 1-4 rankings, leaned into chemistry over stardom, and Hymlárová’s line reaped the benefits. That fourth line saw significant minutes in the Finals, and in the days following Minnesota’s victory, it became one of the most talked-about storylines. Even Jocks and Jills gave props to the energy and effectiveness the trio brought every shift.

After a championship run and a true taste of playoff glory, Hymlárová’s trajectory is pointing sharply upward. Minnesota will expect her to carry that momentum into next season, and with a Walter Cup-winning assist already on her résumé, she’s set a high bar for Act II of her PWHL career.

Tereza Vanišová (Ottawa Charge)

Tereza Vanišová was the heartbeat of the Ottawa Charge’s offense this season, and occasionally its chaos. The 29-year-old forward had a standout regular season, tallying 15 goals and 7 assists for 22 points in 30 games (a notable increase from the 12pts from last season). She led Ottawa in scoring and ranked among the league’s top goal scorers, tying for second in the PWHL (right alongside the legend herself Hilary Knight).

*Source: Official PWHL - Game 4 PWHL Finals MINN vs. OTT*

Vanišová delivered several explosive performances, including two hat tricks, making her the first player in PWHL history to record multiple hat tricks in one season. In a late-March game at New York, she netted her second hat trick to power a 5-2 victory, becoming Ottawa’s single-season goal record-holder and earning post-game accolades. Her dynamic scoring touch and big-game mentality without a doubt kept the Charge in the playoff hunt down the stretch.

But Vanišová didn’t just make headlines for her scoring. She also gained notoriety for her feisty, physical style. She led the entire league in penalty minutes with 38, frequently walking the line between aggressive and undisciplined. Her season included several controversial moments, most notably, multiple boarding majors that resulted in fines from the league’s Player Safety Committee. In one January game, she received a five-minute major for boarding New York’s Taylor Girard and was fined $500. It was her second fine of the season, following a similar incident against the Montreal team.

Then came the league’s first true fight: on February 20, Vanišová dropped the gloves (or at least threw punches despite the cages) in a heated scrap with Boston’s Jill Saulnier. Both received double minors for roughing, but the visual of two players swinging was a PWHL first. Since she also had a goal and assist that game, fans jokingly dubbed it the “Vanišová hat trick”, a Gordie Howe special with a twist. While her edge brought Ottawa energy, it also brought risk. Still, her coach Carla MacLeod stood by her: “Tereza plays on the edge because she cares on the highest level. We just need to channel that energy positively.”

Come playoff time, the Charge once again looked to Vanišová to be their spark, but the story shifted. Through the first three games of the Walter Cup Final against Minnesota, she was held without a goal, finally breaking through in Game 4 with one tally and a total of 3 assists in the series. But Minnesota’s stingy defense clearly keyed in on her, cutting off space and limiting her chances to unleash her lethal shot. She also took a costly penalty in Game 1, once again reinforcing the razor-thin line she walks between being a hero and a liability.

Ottawa ultimately fell just short of the title, and we’re sure Vanišová’s quieter playoff showing has left her hungry for more.

Still, her overall campaign firmly cemented her status as one of the PWHL’s most dangerous, and most talked-about, forwards. Heading into next season, expectations will be sky-high. She enters the offseason as a free agent, and her future with Ottawa remains uncertain. But if she can maintain her scoring firepower and rein in the penalty trouble, she could elevate her game to even greater heights, regardless of where she lands. With her unique blend of skill, intensity, and personality, Vanišová is already one of the league’s marquee stars. Expect the headlines, and the chaos, to keep coming in 2025–26, as she enters her prime with championship redemption on her mind.

Kateřina Mrázová (Ottawa Charge)

Kateřina Mrázová’s season was a rollercoaster of early promise, frustrating injuries, and courageous comebacks. The 32-year-old forward began the year as one of Ottawa’s top offensive centers, but an injury-plagued campaign limited her to just 11 regular-season games. In those appearances, she tallied 3 goals and 4 assists (7 points), showing flashes of her elite playmaking ability before suffering an upper-body injury in mid-February against Minnesota that sidelined her for the rest of the regular season. Placed on long-term injured reserve, Mrázová missed the final 11 games down the stretch, and her veteran presence and vision were sorely missed.

Yet despite the adversity, Mrázová stepped up when it mattered most. In the final game of the regular season, a must-win scenario to clinch a playoff berth, she returned just in time and delivered in dramatic fashion. Her overtime game-winner lifted the Charge to a 2–1 victory over Toronto, securing Ottawa’s first-ever PWHL playoff appearance. The goal, coming 2:52 into OT, may well go down as the most important in the Charge’s young history. It was a defining reminder of Mrázová’s big-moment pedigree: a mainstay on the Czech national team, she managed to shape Ottawa’s destiny despite limited ice time.

Unfortunately, her injury troubles didn’t end. In Game 1 of the Walter Cup Finals, Mrázová was the victim of a controversial knee-on-knee collision with Minnesota’s Britta Curl-Salemme. While the contact appeared accidental, the hit, which went unpenalized, left Mrázová visibly shaken. Later in the third period, she absorbed a second hard hit, this time from Brooke McQuigge, which ultimately forced her out of Games 2 and 3. (Curl never faced discipline, a decision that stirred strong opinions from fans, many of whom felt the league failed to act appropriately.)

With Mrázová sidelined, Ottawa struggled and fell behind in the series. But in a testament to her toughness, she returned for Game 4, clearly playing at less than 100%. Facing elimination, she suited up and took regular shifts, even while visibly limited in mobility. Officially listed as having an “upper-body” injury, it was clear she was gutting through significant pain. Her Finals stat line may have been quiet, zero points through six playoff games, but her presence on the ice carried weight. Mrázová’s return gave the team an emotional lift. Ultimately, Ottawa fell in overtime of Game 4, but her courage left a lasting impression.

After the game, Mrázová was candid about the toll the season had taken:

“Personally, without a doubt, it was the most challenging season I’ve ever faced. Four different injuries and pushing through pain — probably more often than not. It took so much out of me, physically and emotionally — just to keep going. But it was the mental side that turned out to be even harder.”

It was a bittersweet end to an arduous season. When healthy, Mrázová was a clear difference-maker. But staying healthy proved to be the challenge. From a concussion scare earlier in the year to the late-season knee trauma, she was tested again and again. At age 32, we expect Mrázová will take the offseason to recover, reflect, and prepare for next steps. She remains under contract with Ottawa for one more year, and her playmaking, poise, and leadership will be vital once again if she’s back at full strength.

Should she return healthy, she could very well be a “comeback player of the year” candidate. Fans only saw glimpses this year, a game-breaking OT goal, some slick assists, but those flashes were enough to imagine the kind of full-season impact she’s capable of, just as we saw in Year One. Mrázová’s 2025 campaign will be remembered for its resilience and clutch moments. Few players endure what she did and still manage to shape the narrative of a championship series. Ottawa will be hoping that next season, a fully fit Mrázová can lead their charge, this time, from start to finish.

Aneta Tejralová (Ottawa Charge)

Though her name might not dominate highlight reels, Aneta Tejralová was the underrated backbone of the Ottawa Charge, especially in the playoffs. The 28-year-old defender, a fourth-round PWHL draft pick, quickly emerged as one of Ottawa’s quiet leaders on and off the ice. Her regular-season numbers were modest (1 goal and 9 assists) but as a stay-at-home defense-first player, her impact went far beyond the scoresheet. A strong skater who thrives on blocking shots and doing the dirty work, Tejralová anchored Ottawa’s penalty kill and regularly matched up against opponents’ top lines. Come playoff time, she elevated her game even further. Tejralová led the Charge in blocked shots throughout the postseason, sacrificing her body on a nightly basis, and was praised by the coaching staff for her positional discipline and calmness under pressure.

She also contributed offensively in key moments, including her first PWHL playoff goal during Ottawa’s semifinal series win over Montreal, a low point shot that made it through traffic. More importantly though, she logged heavy minutes in all situations, embodying the kind of two-way reliability that often goes unnoticed.

Off the ice, Tejralová brought just as much value. As captain of the Czech national team, it came as no surprise that she served as a locker room leader in Ottawa as well. Her maturity and positive presence stood out, whether she was rallying the team after a tough loss or mentoring younger blueliners.

Even our own personal interactions throughout the season confirmed what so many already know: her passion is genuine. Before the final game of the championship, as multiple Czech players prepared to square off on opposing teams, Tejralová told us “We’ll be friends again after the series, but right now, we’re all chasing the same goal.” That blend of competitive spirit and mutual respect sums up her leadership style. She set the tone for her teammates, buy in, do the little things, and lead by example. And that’s exactly what she did.

Her playoff performance finally drew broader recognition. In the four-game Finals, she was a shot-blocking force, routinely smothering Minnesota’s shooters and initiating clean breakouts with smart, under-control outlet passes. She even came within inches of playing the hero when in Game 4, Tejralová jumped up into a rush and rang a hard shot off the post, just missing what would have sent the series back to Ottawa for a decisive Game 5.

That flash of offensive instinct was a reminder that there’s more to her game than just grit and defense. Although Ottawa came up short, Tejralová’s all-around contributions didn’t go unnoticed by those who understand the game. Her willingness to do the gritty jobs, and her consistency shift after shift, were central to the Charge’s success.

Looking ahead, Tejralová has firmly established herself in the PWHL as a top-tier defensive defender with leadership intangibles. At 28, she’s in her prime and assuming she returns (she’s still signed for one more year), she’ll continue anchoring the Ottawa blue line next season. Don’t be surprised if her offensive numbers tick up too; her confidence with the puck clearly grew as the season wore on. But even if she stays under the radar, Tejralová seems content to let others chase the spotlight while she focuses on getting the job done. She came agonizingly close this year to both a World Championship medal and a Walter Cup title this season. With her championship pedigree and unwavering consistency, we have no doubt she’ll be back in contention again and soon.

Daniela Pejšová (Boston Fleet)

Boston’s 22-year-old defender Daniela Pejšová entered the PWHL with high expectations as a top draft pick, and her rookie season laid some promising building blocks. Selected 7th overall in the second round by the Boston Fleet (after they traded up to secure her), Pejšová was signed to a three-year contract through 2026–27, a clear sign of the organization’s long-term belief in her potential.

Coming off back-to-back SDHL championships in Sweden with Luleå HF, Pejšová arrived in Boston as a poised, two-way defender known for her skating and offensive upside. As with many European imports, she had to adjust to the pace and physicality of the North American pro game. But by season’s end, she looked increasingly confident with the puck.

Pejšová registered 3 assists in 28 regular-season games, and while she didn’t find the back of the net, she created plenty of offensive chances, jumping into the rush, keeping plays alive at the blue line, and quarterbacking Boston’s second power-play unit. Fleet coaches encouraged her to lean into her offensive instincts, and we saw flashes of the dynamic defender she was in Europe: a crisp stretch pass here, a smart pinch there, subtle signs of what’s to come.

Defensively, Pejšová held her own. She finished with an even plus-minus (-1 on a team that struggled late) and steadily improved in her one-on-one battles and physicality along the boards.

One unique twist in her season came late in the year, when roster injuries led Boston to experiment with her at forward. In March, shorthanded up front, head coach Courtney Kessel deployed Pejšová as a winger, citing her speed and offensive vision. It was a brief but fascinating switch, and by all accounts, Pejšová embraced the challenge. The stint seemed to boost her confidence, and when she returned to defense, she played some of her most assertive hockey of the season.

While Boston’s season ended in disappointment, narrowly missing the semifinals on a tiebreaker and then being bounced with an 8–1 loss to Minnesota on the final day, Pejšová gained invaluable experience. In that final game, she was one of the few bright spots, notching an assist on Boston’s lone goal and battling until the final horn. That kind of resilience bodes well for her long-term development.

Fleet management remains high on Pejšová’s trajectory. Her international résumé, a key contributor to Czechia’s national team, suggests there’s much more to come as she fully acclimates to the PWHL.

With two years remaining on her contract, Pejšová is expected to be a fixture on Boston’s blue line next season, assuming she’s not protected/selected in the upcoming expansion draft. Don’t let her modest rookie stat line fool you: the talent is there. At 5’9” with smooth, fluid skating, she has all the tools to take a big step forward in Year Two. Her journey this season was about learning and adjustment. Next year, look for Daniela Pejšová to potentially take on more responsibility, and continue growing into the player Boston bet on. So far, all signs indicate that bet will pay off.

Klára Peslarová (Boston Fleet)

Goaltender Klára Peslarová’s season was a study in quality over quantity. The 28-year-old entered the year as Boston’s third goaltender and ended it as one of the league’s most intriguing netminders, albeit one who saw limited action. Peslarová appeared in just four regular-season games for the Fleet, but she maximized every opportunity, posting an impressive 1.79 goals-against average, .937 save percentage, a 2–0–1 record, and one shutout.

In her very first PWHL start on April 26, Peslarová turned aside all 29 shots she faced to earn a 3–0 shutout, becoming just the third goaltender in league history to record a shutout in their debut. Earlier in the season, she earned a win in relief, making her the first goalie in PWHL history to notch a victory after entering mid-game. Every time she was in net, Peslarová impressed flashing quick reflexes, confident puck-handling, and the calm demeanor of a world-class goaltender.

The only frustration? How rarely her number was called.

Stuck behind starter Aerin Frankel, one of the league’s top goaltenders, Peslarová spent most nights in a ballcap at the end of the bench. She was vocal about her desire for more playing time, especially with the 2026 Olympic Games on the horizon. In a candid interview with Czech media after the season, she said:

“Every goalie wants to be in the crease. I don’t want to experience going into a major tournament without playing, it wouldn’t be fair to the team.”

Peslarová now faces a dilemma: bank on getting selected in the expansion draft or signed elsewhere with the potential of a starting gig, or pursue a starting role elsewhere to ensure she’s in top form for Czechia’s Olympic run. During the season, she went nearly three months without game action, appearing only in occasional starts. Still, when called upon, she remained sharp.

As Boston’s season ended disappointingly early, some fans began to wonder: could the Fleet have benefitted from giving Peslarová more starts down the stretch? But if club minutes were scarce, international play offered the perfect outlet.

During the PWHL international break, Peslarová backstopped Czechia at the 2025 IIHF Women’s World Championship and stole the show. She was named to the media All-Star Team, posting two shutouts, a .914 save percentage, and a 2.59 GAA, including a heroic 43-save performance in a narrow 2–1 semifinal loss to Team USA. Despite Czechia finishing 4th, Peslarová’s goaltending was widely praised as among the tournament’s best.

She showed no rust, in fact, she looked invigorated by the big stage. The contrast was striking: a goalie who had barely seen the ice in winter was now stoning Olympic champions in spring. It reinforced what Peslarová had been saying all along, that she needs meaningful minutes to stay sharp.

With the PWHL set to expand by two teams (Seattle and Vancouver), Peslarová is now at the center of expansion draft speculation. She’s seen by many as a prime target for a franchise in search of a No. 1 goaltender. Boston’s front office is preparing for the possibility of losing her and understandably so. If selected, Peslarová would almost certainly step into a starter’s role, an outcome she may privately welcome.

Boston would hate to lose her, but with Frankel firmly established, they know Peslarová deserves a crease of her own. Her talent is undeniable. This is the same goalie who backstopped Czechia to historic bronze medals in 2022 and 2023. At 28, she’s in her prime and arguably among the world’s top female goaltenders. The PWHL just hasn’t seen the full picture yet.

Noemi Neubauerová (Toronto Sceptres)

Forward Noemi Neubauerová’s 2025 PWHL journey was one of adjustment and unrealized potential. The 25-year-old Czech entered the Toronto Sceptres camp as a fifth-round draft pick (30th overall), after beginning her season abroad in Switzerland. She started the fall with EV Zug, posting 4 goals and 4 assists in 9 games, before transitioning to the PWHL once the league got underway.

Her high-energy style and strong European résumé she led AIK in scoring in the SDHL the previous season, suggesting she could be a sneaky-good depth addition for Toronto. But on a loaded Sceptres roster, Neubauerová struggled to carve out a consistent role. In the first half of the season, she bounced around the lineup, often skating on the fourth line or finding herself listed as a healthy scratch. The mismatch in line pairings made it tough for her to build chemistry or rhythm. Still, she had moments. Her quickness on the forecheck and willingness to battle in corners stood out, even if the points didn’t follow.

As the season wore on, her ice time continued to dwindle. By March, she was a frequent scratch, as Toronto’s coaches leaned on more experienced North American forwards during the playoff push. In total, Neubauerová suited up for 20 regular-season games, finishing without a point, a limited stat line that doesn’t reflect her effort or work ethic.

Toronto’s staff praised her attitude, she stayed positive, practiced hard, and remained ready whenever called. But cracking a top-nine forward group on the league’s best offensive team was a tall order, especially for a rookie.

A minor injury in February (the result of a bruising hit) further limited her opportunities. By playoff time, she was not in the lineup, watching from the press box as Toronto fell in the semifinals.

Still, Neubauerová’s talent is clear. A tenacious 5’8” winger with a nose for the net, her ability was on display in Switzerland and earlier during a standout NCAA career at Colgate. Her quiet PWHL season might have had more to do with fit and opportunity than ability.

With two new teams entering the league, Neubauerová could be a prime candidate for selection in the expansion draft, or for a larger role in Toronto should the roster shuffle open up space. Her versatility and international experience make her a valuable depth asset with untapped upside.

Looking ahead, Neubauerová is hoping for a fresh start and a chance to truly showcase her abilities. The expansion might be exactly what she needs, a clean slate, consistent minutes, and the freedom to play her game. At 25, her prime years are approaching, and she’ll be motivated to prove she belongs.

Her situation is a reminder that sometimes good players are simply a victim of numbers. Neubauerová’s story isn’t written yet. One quiet season in a stacked lineup doesn’t erase her potential, if anything, it fuels her next chapter. Don’t be surprised if Noemi Neubauerová becomes a breakout name next year, especially on a team that can finally give her the runway to fly. The instincts, the pace, the scoring touch, they’re all still there. She just needs the right environment to shine.

Dominika Lásková (Montreal Victoire)

Dominika Lásková’s 2025 season was defined by a courageous comeback and tantalizing glimpses of what she can offer when healthy. The 28-year-old Czech defender was selected in the fourth round by Montréal but spent most of the PWHL’s inaugural season recovering from a major knee injury. In fact, Lásková hadn’t played a professional game in over a year after suffering the injury in early 2024, and she began the season on long-term injured reserve.

With a deep defensive corps, Montréal took a patient approach, allowing Lásková time to fully rehab before easing her into action. That moment finally arrived in late February 2025, when the Victoire activated her from LTIR — nearly a year to the day from the original injury. Upon her return, GM Danièle Sauvageau praised Lásková’s resilience.

Though she appeared in only five regular-season games, those outings hinted at what Montréal saw in her. She didn’t register any points, but displayed flashes of the skillset that made her one of Europe’s most respected two-way defenders, jumping into plays, threading crisp breakout passes, and showing strong positioning in her own zone. It was clear she was still shaking off the rust, but the tools were all there.

Then came the World Championships and a reminder of Lásková’s upside. With Czechia, she returned to full form, playing top-four minutes and contributing both defensively and offensively. In the bronze medal game, she was among Czechia’s most composed and active defenders, nearly willing the team to the podium in a heartbreaking OT loss. Her performance at Worlds reasserted that when healthy, Lásková is dynamic, a mobile, high-IQ defender who can impact the game at both ends.

Now entering the offseason, Lásková’s next chapter is unclear. Her initial contract with Montréal was for one year, and she’ll enter free agency amid a landscape altered by PWHL expansion. Will Montréal re-sign her, or will she become an attractive target for one of the two new franchises? The Victoire invested a year in her recovery, but by playoff time, Lásková was still on the fringes of the lineup. It’s a tricky decision, her body of work is limited, but her potential is undeniable.

Around the league, Lásková is quietly viewed as a “hidden gem.” She brings championship experience (she won the Isobel Cup with Toronto in 2023), is now fully healthy, and at 28, is squarely in her prime. If given consistent ice time, many believe she could thrive as a top-four defender, possibly even running a power play or becoming a steady two-way presence. An expansion team, in particular, could benefit from her experience, leadership, and upside.

In sum, Dominika Lásková’s season was one of perseverance and promise. She overcame a brutal injury, returned to elite-level competition, and showed just enough to remind everyone why she was so highly regarded. Her comeback might not have been loud, but it was powerful. And it’s likely just beginning.

Conclusion

As the offseason begins and eyes turn toward free agency, the expansion draft, and Olympic preparation, one thing is clear: the PWHL has arrived, and so have the Czech players making their mark on it. We at ČWHR are proud to have chronicled their stories, moments of grit and greatness, and everything in between. What started as a small passion project has grown into something far bigger for us, and this season proved why it matters. The athletes deserve to be seen, celebrated, and supported. And if this was just the beginning, then we can’t wait to see what year two brings. We’ll be there, cameras, notepads, and hearts wide open ready to tell the story.
