Mills comes most recently from two seasons in the Chinese team KRS Vanke Rays, which plays in the Russian league WHL.

There she has scored 232 points in 243 matches.

She has also been team captain of the Czech national team for the past ten years.

- Mills is an experienced two-way center that is great at teasing and has a good shot.

She is physically strong which will be to her advantage now that SDHL is introducing more physical play.

A smart player with a cruel character and who will contribute a lot both on and off the ice, says sports director Erika Grahm.

Brynäs fell to Luleå in the latest final series of the SDHL, and Mills hopes to lead the club to its first gold in history.

- Brynäs has had two successful seasons and has been so close to winning gold.

I hope to be able to contribute to every training and match so that we can take that last step required to take us all the way and get to lift the dent next season, says Mills.
