Stoltenberg's ice hockey club career began in 2008 and has been played entirely with HPK Kiekkonaiset, the women's representative ice hockey team of the sports club Hämeenlinnan Pallokerho in Hämeenlinna.[2] She holds the record for most games played with HPK (with over 100 more appearances than the second-ranked player) and is second on the list of all-time points scored for the club.

With HPK, Stoltenberg won the inaugural Aurora Borealis Cup in 2011. As the reigning Finnish Champion, HPK earned a berth in the second round of the 2011–12 IIHF European Women Champions Cup. Stoltenberg and Riikka Noronen served as HPK alternate captains during the tournament and, after sweeping their group in the second round, the team went on to win bronze in the tournament final.[3] During the final, Stoltenberg ranked among the top-ten defensemen of the tournament in scoring.[4][5]

In addition to the 2011 Aurora Borealis Cup, she won Finnish Championship silver in 2016, and Finnish Championship bronze in 2009, 2010, 2012, and 2014.[6]

She served as captain of HPK Kiekkonaiset during the 2017–18 and 2018–19 seasons, and as an alternate captain in the 2016–17 and 2019–20 seasons.[7]

Stoltenberg recorded her 400th regular season game in the Naisten Liiga at the end of the 2022–23 season, becoming the seventh player and third defenseman to reach the milestone in league history. She currently ranks first on the list of most games played by a defenseman active in the Naisten Liiga and trails only Karoliina Rantamäki for most games played of all players active in the Naisten Liiga.[8]

International play

As a junior player with the Finnish national under-18 team, Stoltenberg competed at the IIHF U18 Women's World Championship in 2008 and 2009.

She is a two-time medalist for Finland at the Winter Universiade. Her first appearance at the Universiade was the women's ice hockey tournament at Harbin 2009, where she contributed two goals and two assists in seven games to Finland’s bronze medal performance. She doubled her points output in the women's ice hockey tournament at 2011 Erzurum, tallying three goals and five assists for eight points in six games to lead all Finnish defenders in points; her effort helped Finland claim silver in the tournament.
