Ellie Krueger finishes Blue Jay career as an all-stater

Mar. 15—JAMESTOWN — Ellie Krueger got some exciting news in the middle of her workout last week.

"I found out I was all-state when I was lifting in the weight room after school," said Krueger, a senior for the Jamestown High School girls hockey team.

Krueger was named to the 2025 Girls Hockey All-State Team on March 6. Krueger was the only member of the Jamestown High School hockey programs to be named to the all-state roster.

"I was super happy to find out that I was named all-state," Krueger said. "It was kind of a big deal but I wasn't super surprised since I was a leading goal scorer in the state this year and a senior.

"I have been playing high school hockey for four years, I was the only captain on my team and I worked extremely hard this year," she said. "I wish I could have got my team to State this year, but I was glad that I succeeded individually and hope to see some of the younger girls step up next year and rack up some points."

Krueger has been a member of the Blue Jay varsity roster since she was an eighth grader. Her commitment to the sport is unmatched.

"I have been able to get on the ice almost every day during hockey season for the past five years," Krueger said. "I have also been able to play with many different people who are older and younger and it has definitely helped me as a player and as a person."

The senior has been a top-three scorer for the Jays every year since 2020.

"Ellie has played a big role for us for five years and this award is a testament to her hard work and dedication to hockey," JHS head coach Andy Fitzgerald said. "This year she played defense for us the first half of the year and greatly helped with a young defensive group and goalies.

"The second half of the year she moved to forward to give our offense a boost," he said. "As team captain she provided leadership to our young team throughout the year, and is one of the hardest workers that I've ever coached."

In her 22 games played this winter, Krueger was responsible for 14 goals and 11 assists for 25 total points. The senior tabulated the eighth-most points in the state.

"When we played Williston at home we won with seven points," Krueger said. "I had six of the points. This was kind of when I realized that I was having a really good season and would be a contestant for all-state."

Prior to this season, Krueger has never been named to the All-State team but she was named to the All-WDA roster as a freshman. While her prep career is over, Krueger has plans to attend Aurora University in Illinois to play hockey and soccer.

"They take many things into account when picking the all-state team, the main one would be talent, hard work and leadership and good sportsmanship," Krueger said. "Not all players hold those qualities and want to put in the effort so that's why some players don't make the cut for All-State.

"My advice for other players is always try to be the hardest worker on the ice no matter what and take every opportunity you get," she said.
