Ella Schluck represents all of the qualities that the Hobey Baker award values: “coachability, strength of character, integrity, commitment, teamwork, community building and outstanding sportsmanship.” Playing for the Wildcats since her 8th grade year, Ella has demonstrated her coachability and sportsmanship on and off the ice each and every day. Through a season of highs and lows, she has demonstrated her commitment to the team, her strength of character, and her integrity, regardless of circumstance. She has proven her dedication to building a team and giving back to the Waconia community as noticed by her coordination of team bonding events and her personal volunteer efforts that benefited the young and elderly in Waconia. Ella is hard worker, an outstanding student, an overachiever, a leader on the ice as Captain for the last two years, and in the classroom as President of the Student Council and President of the National Honor Society. She is the first to show up, the last to leave, a true teammate, and valued presence. It is for all of these reasons and more that she is worthy of the 2025 Hobey Baker Award.
