Krissy Wendell-Pohl
Class of 2013
Hockey: 2002-05

Arguably the most decorated NCAA women's hockey player ever, Krissy Wendell-Pohl was an offensive threat from 2002-05 and served as a Minnesota team captain during the 2004-05 season.

During her collegiate career, the three-time All-American, two-time WCHA Player of the Year and 2005 Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award Winner put herself near the top of most of Minnesota's scoring lists, including being second in career points (237) and career goals (106). She also ranks third all-time nationally in points in a season (104) and tied for first in shorthanded goals for a season (seven).

Wendell-Pohl was a critical ingredient in winning Minnesota's back-to-back national titles in 2004 and 2005. She was an NCAA All-Tournament Team member both years and tagged the Most Outstanding Player in 2004.

The Brooklyn Park, Minn. native also began playing with the U.S. Women's National Team in 1998 and continued to suit up with the Red, White & Blue for a decade. Wendell, who was named U.S. team captain in 2006, accumulated a total of 17 medals, including an Olympic silver (2002) and bronze (2006).
