Klára Hymlárová ’24 becomes first St. Cloud State Women’s Hockey alumna to make a PWHL opening day roster
ST. PAUL, Minn. – Former St. Cloud State Women's Hockey forward Klára Hymlárová (Opava, Czech Rebublic) made history for the program on Nov. 29 when she was named to the opening day roster for the Minnesota Frost of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) following the team's preseason minicamp. She becomes the first alumna to make an opening day roster for a PWHL team.
On June 10, Hymlárová was selected by then-PWHL Minnesota in the 3rd round (15th overall) of the league's draft, becoming the first Husky to be selected since the inauguration of the PWHL Draft in 2023.
The Frost won the first annual Walter Cup Championship in 2023-24 and return 16 members from that team. The final 10 players that make up the 26-player roster are PWHL rookies, including Hymlárová. The Frost opened their season with a 4-3 overtime loss against the New York Sirens on Sunday. Hymlárová skated to a +1 mark in her professional debut. Minnesota returns to action when it plays the Boston Fleet on Wednesday.
A two-time alternate captain, Hymlárová ended her five-year career in a Huskies sweater in 2023-24 with 36 goals and 53 assists for 89 points in 142 collegiate games. She compiled four Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) weekly awards in her career including one Forward of the Week nod in 2023-24 after being named Most Outstanding Player at the 2023 Ice Breaker after leading the Huskies to the title with a natural hat trick in the Championship Game and three Rookie of the Week selections in 2019-20. She also earned WCHA Rookie of the Month honors in December 2019 and was named to the 2019-20 WCHA All-Rookie Team.
Hymlárová is well-known on the international circuit as a leader on the Czechia Senior National Team, earning two Bronze medals at the World Championships (2022, 2023) while appearing in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. In total, she has represented Czechia seven times at the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) World Championships (2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024) and three times at the IIHF U18 World Junior Championships (2015, 2016, 2017).
