THURSDAY EVENT

A one-day experience built for development, mentorship, and inspiration.

A Full Female Hockey Experience

Rink Rebels is proud to host a special Thursday August 6th, 2026 event built around development, mentorship, inspiration, and connection for young female hockey players.

This is more than a camp. It is a full female hockey experience where players will have the chance to learn from PWHL and university women’s hockey athletes, hear their stories, ask questions, build confidence, and see what the next level can look like.

From the rink to the stage, this experience is about giving young athletes direct access to strong role models in the women’s game through on-ice development, off-ice mentorship, player interaction, photos, autographs, giveaways, and a special Women in Hockey Night at the Fredericton Playhouse.

Players will leave with more than just a great day on the ice. They will leave with confidence, memories, and inspiration that can stay with them long after the weekend is over.

More Than a Tournament Appearance

While these athletes will also be making appearances during the Friendship Tournament over the weekend, the Thursday experience is designed to offer something much more personal.

Train With The Pros gives young players dedicated opportunities to learn from, interact with, and connect with PWHL and university women’s hockey athletes through on-ice development, mentorship, player Q&A, photos, and autographs.

Instead of simply seeing the athletes around the rink, participants will have meaningful, structured time with them in an experience created specifically to inspire and support young female hockey players.

Thursday is about closer interaction, real conversations, and the chance to learn directly from athletes who have reached the next level.

The athletes may also be part of the tournament weekend, but Train With The Pros is the opportunity to connect with them in a more focused and memorable way.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHO’S GOING TO WALK THROUGH THE DOORS

With the Rink Rebels, every event has the potential to become something unforgettable.

Special guests. Elite athletes. Unexpected moments. Once-in-a-lifetime connections.

That is part of what makes the Rink Rebels experience different.

👀 With the Rink Rebels… you never know who’s going to walk through the doors. 👀

This option is perfect for families, young athletes, fans, and supporters who want to be part of the evening celebration.

Why This Event Matters

Female hockey is growing, but young players still need more opportunities to see what is possible.

They need role models.
They need connection.
They need spaces where they feel seen, supported, and inspired.

Train With The Pros was created to give players that opportunity.

At Rink Rebels, we believe the game is bigger than the scoreboard. It is about building confidence, growing leaders, creating memories, and helping young female athletes believe they belong in the game.
