Orono-Maine -- The University of Maine hockey coaching staff welcomes Vendula Pribylova to the roster for the 2016-2017 season.  

Vendula hails from Olomouc, Czech Republic and played for HK Hokej Sumperk 2003 a men's team in the Czech Republic.  She has represented her county many times, having played in three U18 world championship's and five senior national team world championship's for the Czech Republic.  

"Vendula is a skilled forward with good size standing at 5'7".  We were able to see Vendula play numerous times with her national team and her speed and offensive instinct was something that stood out to us right away. We noticed she is not a player who shy's away from contact which is a rare combination with her skill. We liked Vendula's versatility to succeed both at center and wing.    We can not wait to get on the ice and being to work with Vendula and are excited she chose to be a Black Bear." -Richard Reichenbach
