MONTREAL — Dominika Laskova remembers waiting for a pass that never landed on her stick. Laskova was 12 years old taking the ice for the Czech Republic's under-15 national camp. Her teammate, Tereza Vanisova, was hogging the puck. Fifteen years later, the two Czech players are best friends — and sharing more than just a puck. Laskova and Vanisova are the only Europeans on Montreal's Professional Women's Hockey League team, pursuing hockey careers that have led them both to new lives in Canada.
