Allie
Thunstrom, a blur-on-ice,
is a constant threat to score
because of her speed. When
asked how she developed her speed,
Allie said, "When I was young, my
[two older] brothers used to chase me
around." |

A Final Tribute
2006 First Team
All-State
Was
referred to as
North St. Paul's blur-on-ice.
Mpls Star-Trib, 2-27-2006
“When anyone walks into the arena and catches Allie
touching the puck, they are fixated on her and remember
her. It’s what brings
them back.
She’s
a very captivating player and exciting to watch for
anyone from the most knowledgeable hockey fan to a
novice. That says a lot about what she meant to us."
North St. Paul coach Bill Halbrehder
I saw Allie Thunstrom
play in the 2004 State Tournament. "Captivating"
and "exciting
to watch"
are most appropriate terms to describe what I
witnessed.
John of MNPuck
When the North St. Paul girls hockey team was assessed a
penalty this season, the Polars never considered
themselves at a disadvantage.. "Our penalty-killing unit
was actually an offensive threat," Polars coach Bill
Halbrehder said. The reason was Allie Thunstrom,
considered by many hockey experts to be the fastest
girls skater in Minnesota..
