The Gentry Academy Stars boys’ hockey program has quickly established itself as one of the premier programs in the state since its inception during the 2018–2019 school year. Built on a foundation of high standards, player development, and a competitive mindset, the Stars have experienced remarkable success in a short period of time.

A defining moment for the program came in 2021, when the Stars captured the MSHSL Class A State Championship, cementing their place among Minnesota’s elite hockey programs. Since then, Gentry has continued to elevate its level of competition and now competes in Class AA within Section 4. Most recently, the Stars advanced to the State Tournament after a hard-fought victory over White Bear Lake in the Section 4AA Final and competed in the 2026 State Tournament, marking another significant milestone for the program.

The team is led by Head Coach Kyle Follmer, who will enter his fourth season at the helm in 2026–2027. Under his leadership, the program has continued to grow and thrive, emphasizing discipline, teamwork, player development, and a commitment to excellence both on and off the ice. Follmer was also recognized for his outstanding leadership and coaching accomplishments when he was named Section 4A Coach of the Year.

Gentry Academy boys’ hockey is open to students in grades 9–12, providing a high-level competitive experience while continuing to develop well-rounded student-athletes prepared for success both on and off the ice.
