In the first part of a five part series on getting to know your counselors, let's meet Andrew Johnson, our Camp Coordinator:

Andrew, a proud Otter Hockey alumnus, is deeply dedicated to player development and the future of Otter Hockey. Currently studying Kinesiology Pre-Therapy at the University of Northwestern in St. Paul while also playing baseball, Andrew's passion for the game runs deep. Coming from a family of eight, all with ties to hockey or figure skating, he practically grew up on the rink.

During his four years as a defenseman under Coach Donaghue, Andrew competed in two section final games and earned accolades including Section 6A 1st team, Central Lakes Conference honorable mention selections, and the Lee Franklin Memorial Scholarship. With a focus on mentorship and coaching, Andrew aims to inspire young Otters and foster a culture of teamwork and growth.

Next up on our counselor introductions: Sophie Rausch! If her name looks familiar, it might be because you've seen it many times on our record-holders display (most goals, assists, and points for both single season and career).

More about Sophie: Sophie is an Otter alumnus who is very excited to return to her youth program to help develop the next generation of hockey players.

She graduated from Fergus Falls High School in 2019 and is proud to have been named an MVP her last three years of hockey as well as being named to the All-State team her senior year, the All-Conference team her sophomore, junior, and senior years, and the All-Conference Academic team sophomore, junior, and senior years. In her time as an Otter, she rewrote the record books for most goals, assists, and points for both single season and career.

In college, she started at Hamline University and ended at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire where she played hockey at both. She graduated this May with her degree in Kinesiology-Exercise Science. At UWEC, Sophie rewrote more records for the most goals and points in a season her junior year. Her senior year she improved her own record for points. She has been named a 3-time First Team All-American from both the AHCA and USCHO. She has also been named a Player of the Year for both the MIAC and the WIAC in consecutive seasons. She finished with 172 career points (100 goals, 72 assists) in 110 games. She was also named the team MVP for her junior and senior seasons at UWEC.

Sophie helped coach the summer hockey program in Eau Claire, WI last summer at Valley Sports Academy and she is excited to share her hockey knowledge with the next generation of Otters. She hopes she can pass on her passion for hockey to the youth players of Fergus Falls.
