Andrea Schjelderup Dalen (born 19 June 1992) is a Norwegian ice hockey forward, currently playing in the Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL) with Frölunda HC. She has been a member of the Norwegian national ice hockey team since 2008.[1] Dalen holds the record for most goals in a single SDHL season, with 47 scored in the 2015–16 season, and is the seventh leading all-time points scorer in SDHL history.

Playing career

Dalen grew up playing on boys' teams in Ringerike, Norway and with women's teams of Vålerenga Ishockey. In 2009, she moved to Sweden to attend the ice hockey gymnasium of Linköping HC and play with the club's women's team in the Riksserien (renamed Swedish Women's Hockey League in 2016).[2] She led Linköping to a runner-up finish in the 2011 playoffs, while finishing as playoff scoring champion with seven points in four contests. In the regular season, she finished sixth in the scoring race. By the end of her two seasons in Linköping, she had scored 81 points in 54 games, including 50 goals.[3]

Dalen joined the North Dakota women's ice hockey program in September 2011, joining fellow Norwegian Jorid Dagfinrud. Across 143 games with North Dakota, she scored 63 points, serving as the team's captain in her final season.[4]

After graduating, Dalen returned to the Riksserien the 2015–16 season and signed with Djurgårdens IF Hockey. In her first Djurgårdens, she set the league record for goals in a season after scoring 47 goals in 36 games; she ended the season with a total of 73 points and twelve penalty minutes.[5][6] In the following season, the team won the SDHL championship. She was named Djurgården's captain in 2018 and served in role for three seasons, until signing with Linköping HC for the 2021–22 SDHL season.

Following her season with Linköping, Dalen opted to sign with Frölunda HC, a team founded in 2022 and helmed by general manager Kim Martin Hasson.[7] As a newly established team, Frölunda was required to play the 2022–23 season [sv] in the Nationella Damhockeyligan (NDHL) but the team made it clear that the goal was promotion to the SDHL at season's end.[8] Led by SDHL stars Dalen, Michelle Karvinen, Hanna Olsson, Sarah-Ève Coutu-Godbout, and Stephanie Neatby, the team quickly rose to dominance and earned promotion to the SDHL in March 2023.[9][10] In addition to scoring the first goal in team history, Dalen ranked third of all players in the NDHL and on the team for points with 97 points from 53 goals and 44 assists in 27 regular season games – a scoring pace of 4.1 points per game pace and just one goal shy of 2 goals per game.[11]

International

Dalen represented her native Norway in the Division I tournament of the IIHF Women's World Championship in 2009 and 2011. She registered four goals and one assist in 2009 tournament, helping Norway finish third in their division. At the 2011 tournament, she tied for fourth in tournament scoring.

Dalen played for Norway at the 2011 IIHF 12 Nations Tournament. She ranked second in Group C scoring with 6 points, only trailing teammate Helene Martinsen whose 8 points led all players in the Group C tournament.[12]
