St Olaf College fields a NCAA Division III hockey program in Northfield, MN. The 2025–26 roster carries 29 players, making it a mid-size program within its division.
What sets this roster apart is its international composition — 5 players from outside the United States, representing Canada. That kind of international reach is unusual for programs at this level and speaks to active recruiting or strong word-of-mouth in those markets.
Over 93% of this roster came through junior hockey circuits. Players here have typically spent one or more seasons in competitive junior programs before choosing college hockey — a meaningful indicator of prior competitive experience.
With a 48.3% acceptance rate and average SAT of 1380, the academic bar is accessible for most student-athletes who want to play college hockey without sacrificing program quality.
