Linda Vocetková (born 22 March 2007) is a Czech ice hockey player. She has played with Djurgårdens IF in the Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL) since 2022.
Vocetková has been a member of the Czech national ice hockey team since 2025 and participated in the women's ice hockey tournament at the 2026 Winter Olympics.[1]
Vocetková developed in the youth department of HC Buldoci Neratovice in her hometown of Neratovice, Czech Republic, and played on coed and boys teams throughout her childhood. During her final season in the Czech youth leagues, she played in the Liga 9. tříd, the premier boys national league for under-15 (U15) players, with HC Buldoci Neratovice U15 and ranked second on the team for scoring, with eleven goals and 21 assists for 32 points in 21 games.[2][3]
In addition to playing with the youth teams of HC Buldoci Neratovice, Vocetková played in the Czech Women's Extraliga with HC Příbram during the 2021–22 and 2022–23 seasons. Across two seasons with the team, she tallied eight goals and eighteen points in seventeen regular season games, and seven goals and fourteen points in six playoff games.[2][3] She won the Czech Championship with HC Příbram in 2022 and scored the championship clinching goal to win it again in 2023.
At age sixteen, Vocetková was recruited by Swedish ice hockey club Djurgårdens IF to play with its SDHL team.[2] She played three seasons with the team, though an illness kept her from playing for almost three months at the beginning of the 2024–25 season and she missed thirteen regular season games.[4]
Vocetková has committed to playing college ice hockey with the Colgate Raiders women's ice hockey program in the ECAC Hockey conference of the NCAA Division I, beginning in the 2026–27 season. She will be the third player from the Czech national program to join the Raiders, following in the footsteps of Noemi Neubauerová (graduated 2022) and Kristýna Kaltounková (graduated 2024).[5]
