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.

In 2009, she competed in the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) World Women’s Championship Division I, in Graz, Austria. She was part of the Slovak team that qualified for the top division of the 2011 World Women's Championships.

Her first Olympic women's ice hockey game was 13 February 2010 against Canada. Slovakia lost the game by an 18-0 mark and she was penalized for roughing in the first period.[5] She did not register any points in the Olympic tournament as Slovakia finished in eighth place.[6]
