Lara Stalder (born 15 May 1994) is a Swiss ice hockey centre and captain of the Swiss national ice hockey team. She plays in the SWHL B with EV Zug and serves as the team's captain. Her college ice hockey career was played with the Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs women's ice hockey team and she has previously played in the Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL) with Linköping HC and Brynäs IF.^[1]

Playing career

Across four seasons with Minnesota Duluth, Stalder put up 148 points in 134 games, leading the team in points in her final season, as well as being named WCHA Player of the Year and Student-Athlete of the Year, and being a top-three finalist for the Patty Kazmaier Award.^[2] In 2016, she was drafted 20th overall by the Boston Pride of the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL).^[3]

After missing most of the 2018–19 season due to a shoulder injury, Stalder left Linköping to sign with Brynäs.^[4] In 2020, she was named SDHL Player of the Year after putting up 71 points in 36 games, being the first woman to win Guldhjälmen.^[5] The 42 goals she would score that year is the second highest single-season total in SDHL history, and her 71 points the third highest single-season total in SDHL history.

Stalder made her senior national team debut at the 2011 IIHF Women's World Championship. She has represented Switzerland at the Winter Olympics in 2014 and won the bronze medal after defeating Sweden in the bronze medal playoff. She would score 6 points in 6 games at the 2018 Winter Olympics, as Switzerland finished in 5th place.
