Gustavus Adolphus College

Allie Stanger is in her sixth year on the Gustavus women's hockey coaching staff in the 2024-25 academic year. Stanger joined the Gustavus coaching staff in 2019 as a graduate assistant after a successful four-year playing career for the Gusties. Stanger coaches primarily forwards and serves as the team's head strength and conditioning coaching.

Since Stanger has been with the Gusties as a coach, the team has won four MIAC regular season titles, four MIAC Playoff Championships, made four NCAA appearances, and took home the program's first-ever national championship. Last season, the Gusties collected their fourth consecutive MIAC championship sweep, punching a ticket to the NCAA tourney, where they fell to eventual national champions UW-River Falls in the quarterfinals. In Stanger's five seasons behind the bench, the Gusties have compiled a record of 100-17-4 overall and 62-4-4 in the MIAC.

Stanger has helped six forwards earn 16 All-Conference honors, and one earn two All-America nods (Hailey Holland). Holland went on to become one of the greatest players in program history, totaling 74 goals and 68 assists for 142 points in 121 games. Stanger has helped the Gusties lead the MIAC offensively and defensively for the last three years, completing a perfect conference championship sweep in the last four full seasons.

As a player, Stanger played in 107 games, notching 19 goals and 24 assists for 43 points with the Gusties going 64-28-17 during her time. A two-year captain for Gustavus, Stanger was a part of the 2016-17 team that finished third in the NCAA Tournament and she was named MIAC All-Conference in 2018-19. While a player, the Gusties claimed two regular season championships and made two NCAA tournament appearances.

A native of Paynesville, Minn., Stanger currently resides in Saint Peter.
