The American Hockey Coaches Association has announced its Krampade All‑American Scholars for the 2025‑26 season, honoring fifteen members of the St. Olaf College men’s and women’s hockey programs. The recognition celebrates student‑athletes who combine a minimum 3.75 grade point average with participation in at least 40 percent of their team’s games, with special considerations for those sidelined by injury or serving as backup goaltenders.
A historic milestone for the Oles
Among the honorees, nine women and six men earned the distinction, marking the largest cohort of women scholars in the program’s history and setting a new record for the most women recipients in a single season.
The award recognizes student‑athletes who maintain a minimum 3.75 grade point average and participate in at least 40 percent of their team’s games, with exceptions made for those sidelined by injury or serving as backup goaltenders.
Repeat achievers and first‑time scholars
Solvei Berg‑Messerole joins an elite group by securing the accolade for the third time in her career, while Andi Huselid, Baylyn Shankman and Tyler Laureault each earned the honor for the second time. The remaining eleven scholars received the award for the first time, underscoring the program’s depth of talent.
Eligibility is restricted to teams that are members of the American Hockey Coaches Association, a requirement that ensures only institutions aligned with the association’s competitive and academic standards are represented.
Looking ahead
The recognition not only celebrates past achievement but also signals the program’s continued emphasis on balancing athletic commitment with academic excellence, a combination that coaches say will keep St. Olaf competitive on the ice and in the classroom.
