Career

Küller began playing ice hockey at the age of 3 in Norrtälje, just outside of Stockholm. She grew up playing on mixed teams until the age of nine, when an AIK coach scouted her for their girls' team.[2] She would make her first Riksserien appearance with AIK in 2009-10 against Leksands IF, scoring her first goal on her first shot.[3]

She was named AIK captain ahead of the 2016-17 SDHL season.

She missed seven weeks of the 2018-19 season after suffering a broken arm before the Christmas break.[4] She ended up scoring 11 points in 26 games that season, her lowest total in six years as the team finished in 8th in the league for the first team in its history.[5]

After scoring just one goal in her first 19 games in the 2020–21 SDHL season, she scored a hat trick Leksands IF in December 2020.[6]

International

She made her first senior IIHF World Championships appearance for Sweden at the 2015 IIHF Women's World Championship.[7] She has since represented Sweden at the 2016, 2017, and 2019 World Championships. She scored 3 points in 6 for the country at the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Personal life

In 2011, Küller suffered a serious health scare after accidentally receiving a morphine overdose at six times the average adult dose while receiving treatment for a herniated disc at the hospital.[8]
