Playing career
She was selected by the Minnesota Whitecaps in the 2021 NWHL International Draft on 25 July 2021.[2] She joined the Metropolitan Riveters for the 2022-23 season, and spent one season with them before the dissolution of the PHF.[3] She went undrafted in the 2023 PWHL draft, but ended up signing with PWHL Ottawa for the 2023-24 season.[4] She would play in 15 games for Ottawa before suffering an injury during their March 5 game against PWHL Minnesota and missing the remainder of the season.[5]
International play
Garát-Gasparics represented Hungary at the 2012 IIHF World Women's U18 Championship – Division I and was a standout player on the team as they claimed gold in the tournament and gained promotion to the Top Division. Hungary, a newcomer to the World U18 stage, went undefeated in the tournament to produce what was long considered the greatest success in the history of the Hungarian women's ice hockey. Garát-Gasparics ranked second in scoring of all players participating in the tournament, with 2 goals and 8 assists for 10 points, only trailing linemate Alexandra Huszák's 7 goals and 3 assists.[6]
In January 2012, Garát-Gasparics also represented Hungary at the first ever Winter Youth Olympics, competing in the individual skills challenge, where she came second and collected the silver medal.[7]
