Career

Markström began playing hockey at the age of four, and played on boys' teams in Jönköping until she was 15. She made her SDHL debut with HV71 in the 2019–20 season, picking up three assists in 20 games. She added another assist in six playoff games as the club made it to the championship finals against Luleå HF/MSSK before the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden. In 2019, she scored the first goal in the first-ever girls TV-pucken tournament.[2]

It only took her 11 games to surpass her rookie production in her second season, having scored 4 points in the first 11 games of the 2020–21 SDHL season, including her first professional goal.https://www.jp.se/ketchupeffekt-for-hv71-nar-mira-markstrom-gjorde-sina-forsta-sdhl-mal
