Career

Club hockey

Ycart began her senior career with CD Terrassa, where she played from 2013 to 2021. During her time with the club, she achieved considerable success in the youth divisions, winning several Spanish indoor and outdoor championships. With the first women’s team, she notably won the 2016 Catalan Championship and earned a bronze medal at the 2020 Copa de la Reina.

In 2021, Ycart moved to Germany to join Düsseldorfer HC, marking one of the most successful periods of her career. Over three seasons, she won four German Championships—two indoor and two outdoor—as well as a bronze medal in the 2022 Euro Hockey League (EHL) and a gold medal at the EuroHockey Indoor Club Cup.

Ycart returned to CD Terrassa for the 2024 season before rejoining Düsseldorfer HC in 2025, where she continues to play. During her return, she added another German Indoor Championship to her record.[3][4]
