For the Love of Hockey.
My love for hockey started long before I ever imagined building a brand around it. I first stepped onto the ice at just two years old and began playing hockey at the age of four. What started as a childhood passion became a defining part of my life.
I grew up in a household with 3 hockey players playing competitive hockey, I spent more hours at the rink and training versus my own home, and I constantly dreamed of one day making it to the PWHL. Hockey was never just a sport to me, it was my community, my outlet, my comfort, and the one constant I could always turn to, no matter what life decided to bring my way.
Unfortunately, life had other plans. After becoming severely ill with a rare illness and coming close to losing my life, the future I had envisioned for myself and hockey changed. I have been navigating the challenges of living with illness ever since, and the journey has taught me just how much the things we love can become part of what keeps us going.
Even when hockey looked different in my life, when I was sitting on the bench rather than playing, going to my brother games, watching NHL games, my connection to the hockey never disappeared. It continued to be my source of strength, familiarity, and a reminder of the person I have always been since I was a little girl.
Rinkvyn was born from that love, but also from a desire to create something I felt was missing.
I wanted to create a brand that truly understood women in sports. A space where femininity and athleticism could coexist effortlessly. Where women could embrace their love for hockey without feeling they had to compromise their personal style, individuality and femininity. A space where female athletes feel seen, represented, and valued.
I want Rinkvyn to feel like home. A brand that celebrates the girls who grew up at the rink, the women chasing their dreams, the athletes overcoming obstacles, and everyone who has ever found a piece of themselves in sport.
Whether you're playing competitively, cheering from the stands, coaching, or simply carrying a lifelong love for hockey, there is a place for you here.
Hockey has always been more than just a game to me.
Our mission
At Rinkvyn, my mission is to empower women and female athletes to embrace every side of who they are, both on and off the ice.
I believe that being an athlete and embracing your femininity should never be mutually exclusive. Women deserve a space in sports where they feel represented, valued, understood, and celebrated.
Therefore, I strive to create more than just products. My goal is to build a community and a brand that feels like home, one that understands the unique needs of female athletes, celebrates their individuality, and reminds them that they belong in every space they choose to occupy. Because women deserve to feel just as confident, powerful, and at home in sports as anyone else.
