I am so excited to play in the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center, and I am over the moon excited for my coaching. Playing Division I hockey has been my life long dream, and I'm ready to move on to the next level."
Coach Rud's Thoughts: "I really feel that Ivy's best hockey has yet to come. She led in points at the U16 AAA level and is currently leading her team as well. I'm excited to see how her offense will translate in the WCHA."

She still plays in boys hockey along with CYA U19, as she is listed on the Rockford Icemen boys high school team. Stewart also attended the National Development camp in 2012.
When asked why she chose St. Cloud: "I chose St. Cloud because it is a beautiful campus and has a lot to offer. I like everything about this school and the ice rink is also amazing! Educationally, SCSU is a highly ranked school. I feel like I will fit in really well at this school and will be very successful"
Coach Rud's Thoughts: "Jordan is an elite skater with a very aggressive style of hockey. She comes to us with an experienced background having played with many high level teams."
Megan Lalor: Lalor comes from Alberta, Canada, where her family of five resides. Both her older brother and younger sister also play hockey at an elite level.

When asked why she chose St. Cloud: "I chose St. Cloud for multiple reasons, but I think the most significant was that I fell in love with the city and the campus, even in the midst of a full on snow storm when I visited last spring. Second, the coaching staff have inspired confidence in me and have established a great rapport with me and have already made me feel like I am a Husky. Finally, I believe that St. Cloud is the optimum place for me to go to school and play hockey so that I can follow my dreams in both of these areas."
Coach Rud's Thoughts: "Megan is leading her team in scoring and is second in her league for points. She is a feisty competitor who is showing to be an elite offensive talent."
