What Sets Us Apart
For Women By Women
We know what it’s like to be the only woman on the ice, we’ve been there for most of our careers. That’s exactly why we started Odd Girl Rush.
We wanted to create a space where women of all ages can come together, try new things, challenge themselves, and grow while having a great time doing it. It’s all about finding your people, building confidence, and enjoying the journey together.
No egos, no pressure, just a positive, open, and supportive space where you can show up as you are.
All Ages & All Skill Levels
With our combined experience, we bring a depth of knowledge and passion that allows us to coach girls and women at every stage of their journey from those stepping onto the ice for the very first time to athletes competing at the highest levels. We understand that every player’s path is unique, which is why we tailor our approach to meet individual goals, skill levels, and learning styles.
Our goal is simple: to help every athlete get out there, have fun, and keep progressing both on and off the ice. Whether it’s mastering the fundamentals or refining elite-level techniques, we’re dedicated to supporting each player every step of the way.
Holistic Hockey Experience
At our camps, we go far beyond just running drills. We take a more complete approach to development, focusing on how every part of your game is connected. From nutrition and recovery to power and edge skating, we cover a wide range of topics designed to support your growth on and off the ice.
Our goal is to help you understand not just what to do, but why it matters so you can build confidence, improve performance, and become a more well-rounded player in every aspect of the game.
