Playing career
Meixner grew up playing on boys' teams of EK Zeller Eisbären (EKZ) in her hometown of Zell am See. When she turned 16, Austrian Ice Hockey Association regulations prevented her from playing on a boys' team any longer and, because EKZ did not have any teams for women or girls, she moved to Salzburg to play with DEC Salzburg in the Austrian Women's Ice Hockey Bundesliga (DEBL; German: Dameneishockey-Bundesliga).[1] She then moved to Vienna at age 17 to play for the women's team EHV Sabres Vienna in the European Women's Hockey League.[2]
At the age of 22, she left Austria to sign with HV71 in the Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL). She scored sixteen points in seventeen games of the 2016–17 SDHL season, as the club made it to the SDHL playoff finals.
Following the season with HV71, Meixner returned to the EHV Sabres.
In May 2020, she announced her return to Sweden to play for Brynäs IF.[3][4] She had a strong start to the 2020–21 SDHL season, scoring six goals in the first five games, as Brynäs became the last remaining undefeated team in the league, and winning the first Goal of the Week award for the season.[5]
On June 10, 2024, she was drafted in the sixth round, 32nd overall, by PWHL Ottawa in the 2024 PWHL draft. On June 27, 2024, she signed a one-year contract with the Ottawa Charge.[6] During the 2024–25 season, she recorded one goal and one assist in 28 games. On July 10, 2025, she signed a one-year contract extension with the Charge.[7]
On 18 January 2026, Meixner was traded to the Vancouver Goldeneyes, along with Mannon McMahon and Anna Shokhina, in exchange for Michela Cava, Emma Greco, and Brooke McQuigge.[8]
International play
Meixner took part in the 2012 Winter Youth Olympics and won a silver medal with Austria in the women's ice hockey tournament.
