All three continued their careers by playing hockey in Saskatchewan for head coach Barrett Kropf at Caronport High School in 2004.[2] Frühauf, Tomčíková, and Veličková played for the Caronport Lady Cougars but Frühauf and Tomčíková also played on the boys team.

Her first Olympic women's ice hockey game was 13 February 2010 against Canada.
