Playing career

As a youth player, Bouveng played on the boy's junior side of Wings HC Arlanda.[1]

She signed with Djurgårdens IF Hockey to begin her SDHL career in 2017.[2] She put up 12 points in 33 games in her rookie SDHL season before improving to 26 points in 27 games in 2018–19, the most by an SDHL player under the age of 18. In the 2019–20 season, her point production dropped back down to 12, but she led the entire league in faceoff percentage.[3]

She was due to move to North America to study at Princeton University and play with the Princeton Tigers women's ice hockey program beginning with the 2020–21 season, but the COVID-19 pandemic prompted her to postpone those plans. She opted to remain in Sweden and sign with Brynäs IF for the 2020–21 SDHL season instead.[4]

International

Bouveng made her debut with the Swedish national under-18 team at the age of 14. She won gold with the country at the 2016 Winter Youth Olympics, and has played in three IIHF Women's World U18 Championships.[5][6] On 19 January 2022, Bouveng was named to the Swedish Olympic hockey team that will compete in the 2022 Olympics in China. On 24 January 2022, she announced that she will be attending the University of Minnesota in the 2022-2023 school year and will join their NCAA women's hockey program.
