One of the BEST female players in the world, SEVERLY injured in Men's tournament
Nela Lopu�anová is a 15 year old Slovakian, who is absolutely dominating at her level in hockey.
She has been an absolute goal scoring machine and really made a name for herself at the World championships.
She is currently playing in a U16 boys tournament and she took a massive hit from Dominik Halaj, which she quickly got up and ''skated it off'':

She would return in the third period though, where once again she caught a huge hit, this time causing a bit more damage:
