Jasmine Hovda is the definition of a dynamic playmaker. Her elite speed, exceptional vision, and world-class puck handling make her one of the most electrifying players in the state. Despite her smaller frame, Jasmine is remarkably strong on her skates, with incredible balance and coordination that allow her to win battles all over the ice against any opponent. That combination of strength, speed, and competitiveness—paired with her natural scoring touch—has made Jasmine a dominant offensive force and our team’s scoring leader since her freshman year.

Her production speaks for itself: Jasmine is on pace to break our program’s all-time records for goals, assists, and points, a testament to her consistency and ability to perform at the highest-level year after year. She doesn’t just score—she creates. Her playmaking ability elevates everyone around her, and her unselfishness is rare for a player of her caliber. Jasmine is just as excited to set up a teammate for a goal as she is to score one herself, which speaks volumes about her character and leadership.

Off the ice, Jasmine is equally impressive. She is the top student in her class, serves as a member and historian for Roseau’s National Honor Society, and dedicates countless hours volunteering with Roseau Youth Hockey and special education programs in our school. Her commitment to excellence extends far beyond the rink.

I’ve had the privilege of coaching Jasmine for seven years, and in that time, she has consistently been the most skilled, driven, and compassionate player I’ve ever worked with. She embodies everything this award represents—excellence, sportsmanship, character, and a love for the game. As a St. Cloud State Women’s Hockey alum, I couldn’t be prouder that Jasmine will continue her journey as a Husky next year. Her future is incredibly bright, both on the ice and in life, and I can’t wait to see the big things ahead for her.
