Born in Czechoslovakia, Kateřina Mrázová plays for the Ottawa Charge of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL). She is also a member of the Czech Republic women's national ice hockey team.
In international play, Mrázová has represented the Czech Republic since 2008. She has also played for several other leagues since 2012. She joined the Ottawa Charge for their first season in 2023. In 62 games with the Charge, she has 10 goals and 33 points.
The Charge were in Rosemont, Illinois as part of the PWHL neutral sites Takeover Tour. It's basically an attempt to raise awareness of the league and possibly test for future expansion. After the second Takeover Tour game here, the thought is Chicago has a legit shot at getting a team next season.
I might have been the oldest fan in line to meet the players, but they were all very nice as I expressed my respect and support for the players and league.
Currently there are eight teams in the PWHL. I don't know if any expansion if officially planned for next season, but it's only a matter of time before more teams are added, especially if the league continues to draw as many fans as it has.
