Tereza Pištěková (born 3 June 2005) is a Czech ice hockey player and member of the Czech national team. She plays in the Finnish Naisten Liiga (NSML) with HPK Kiekkonaiset.

Playing career

[edit]

In 2021, Pištěková joined the boys' under-17 (U17) team of IHC Králové Písek in the Liga dorostu, the second-tier Czech men's U17 league. She seriously considered quitting ice hockey early in the season, when she felt her development was stalling and she became exhaused while balancing an hour commute from school to practice, a demanding off-ice conditioning schedule, and maintaining her studies. Her parents and coach encouraged her to stick with the sport and helped her overcome her doubts. She transferred mid-season to HC Příbram and initially played in the youth department but was soon recruited to the women's team in the Czech Women's Extraliga (Extraliga žen).[1]

Ahead of the 2022–23 season, she received offers to play internationally from teams in Finland and the United States. After deciding she didn't want to many timezones away from her family, Pištěková pursued the offer from TPS Naiset in Finland and she ultimately signed with team. Her teammate from HC Příbram and the Czech national U18 team, Eliška Hotová, joined TPS at the same time.
