History

=Pre-AWIHL=

The Adelaide Rush were founded in 2005 as the Adelaide Assassins.{{cite web|url=http://goannas.hockeysyte.com/xsyte/page/league_history |title=League History |publisher=Brisbane Goannas |accessdate=8 December 2023 | date=2011 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150225145334/http://goannas.hockeysyte.com/xsyte/page/league_history |archivedate=25 February 2015 |url-status=dead }} The team joined the National Women's Program Showcase Series announced by Ice Hockey Australia in 2005.{{cite web|url=https://www.clearinghouseforsport.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0004/617881/Ice_Hockey_Annual_Report_2005.pdf|title=National Women's League Annual Report 2005|work=Ice Hockey Australia|access-date=26 January 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151006191812/https://www.clearinghouseforsport.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0004/617881/Ice_Hockey_Annual_Report_2005.pdf|archive-date=6 October 2015|url-status=dead}} The Showcase series would be an opportunity to build up to establishing a fully-fledged national women's league. Adelaide competed in the two Showcase Series in 2006 and 2007.{{cite web|url=http://www.freewebs.com/fkutsche/awihlwomensicehockey.htm |title=Australian Women's Ice Hockey League |publisher=Sticks & Stones Photography |accessdate=8 December 2023 | date=2012 | first=Frank | last=Kutsche |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120321024713/http://www.freewebs.com/fkutsche/awihlwomensicehockey.htm |archivedate=21 March 2012 |url-status=dead }}

In early 2006, the Assassins appointed the Australian U18 national team assistant coach, Pier Martin, as their inaugural head coach for the 2006 Showcase Series.{{cite web|url=http://home.pacific.net.au/~navillus/index_files/Page495.htm |title=Showcase Series Rosters |publisher=National Women's Program |accessdate=8 December 2023 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060826130815/http://home.pacific.net.au/~navillus/index_files/Page495.htm |archivedate=26 August 2006 |url-status=dead }} Adelaide selected thirteen players in their first roster, including at least seven Australian internationals in Lucy Parrington, Jodie Walker, Serena Yu, Mel McLaren, Tash Farrier, Candice Mitchell and Tamra Jones. The first Showcase began in February 2006 with five teams, Adelaide Assassins, Sydney Sirens, Brisbane Goannas, Canberra Ice Caps and Melbourne Flames.{{cite web|url=http://home.pacific.net.au/~navillus/index_files/Page363.htm |title=2006 Showcase Series Results |publisher=National Women's Program |accessdate=8 December 2023 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060826023209/http://home.pacific.net.au/~navillus/index_files/Page363.htm |archivedate=26 August 2006 |url-status=dead }} Adelaide won the first Showcase Series, finishing top of the standings with 18 points from 12 games, defeating the Sirens by four points to the title. In the second Showcase Series in 2006-07, the Assassins went undefeated to win the Showcase back-to-back. Adelaide was the first team to lift the West Lakes Trophy in 2007, which had been donated by Westlakes Trophies and Framing to the National Women's Program. The Assassins closest game in the second Showcase was a 6-4 victory over the Sydney Sirens on 11 February 2007.{{cite web|url=http://home.pacific.net.au/~navillus/index_files/Page363.htm |title=2006-2007 Showcase Series Results |publisher=National Women's Program |accessdate=8 December 2023 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071111235234/http://home.pacific.net.au/~navillus/index_files/Page363.htm |archivedate=11 November 2007 |url-status=dead }}

=AWIHL=

The newly formed Australian Women's Ice Hockey League had its inaugural season in the 2007–08 season, where the Adelaide Assassins would again win the championship. At this time the championship trophy awarded to the winners of the finals was the West Lakes Trophy, made by Westlakes Trophies and Framing.{{cite web |url=http://home.pacific.net.au/~navillus/index_files/Page363.htm |title=Australian Women's Ice Hockey League (AWIHL) |date=2009 |publisher=The National Women’s Program |work=home.pacific.net.au/~navillus |access-date=16 September 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100112125748/http://home.pacific.net.au/~navillus/index_files/Page363.htm |archive-date=12 January 2010 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}

On August 8, 2011, the Adelaide Assassins merged with the Adelaide Adrenaline ice hockey club. The move was made to increase the exposure of women's hockey in Australia with the help of associating with an already well known brand with which they could share resources with.{{cite web |url=http://www.awihl.com.au/2011/09/assassin%E2%80%99s-look-to-a-brighter-future |title=Assassin's Look To a Brighter Future... |last1=Rozleja |first1=Michael |date=26 September 2011 |website=Australian Women's Ice Hockey League |publisher=The National Women’s Program |access-date=16 September 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111003000014/http://www.awihl.com.au/2011/09/assassin%E2%80%99s-look-to-a-brighter-future/ |archive-date=2011-10-03 |url-status=dead }}

Before the 2016 season began, the Adrenaline were re branded as Adelaide Rush.

=Adelaide Adrenaline (2011-16)=

On 8 August 2011, the Adelaide Assassins merged with the Adelaide Adrenaline ice hockey organisation as part of the wider AWIHL and Australian Ice Hockey League (AIHL) policy for teams to merge or sign memorandum of understanding (MoU) agreements to better align the two leagues and share resources. This resulted in the Assassins adopting the Adrenaline logo, colour scheme and uniforms. Shifting from predominantly red to dark blue with red, yellow and white secondary colours. The new logo consisted of a hockey puck with AA on the face and a hand breaking through clutching a hockey stick.{{cite web|url=https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/internationalhockey/images/4/47/Adelaide_Adrenaline_%282009%29_Logo.png/revision/latest?cb=20150710175327 |title=Adelaide Adrenaline Logo |publisher=Adelaide Adrenaline |accessdate=10 December 2023 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20231210040930/https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/internationalhockey/images/4/47/Adelaide_Adrenaline_%282009%29_Logo.png/revision/latest?cb=20150710175327 |archivedate=10 December 2023 |url-status=live }}

Clutch.TV (2022-23) - On 22 October 2022, the AWIHL announced a streaming partnership with Australian streaming provider Clutch.TV for worldwide streaming rights for the 2022-23 AWIHL season. Every game of the regular and post-season would be available live and on-demand for free on the Clutch streaming platform. This partnership came to an abrupt end in September 2023, ahead of the new AWIHL season, when Clutch Pty Ltd, who operates Clutch.TV, entered administration and ceased all operations.{{cite web|url=https://icehockeynewsaustralia.com/2022/10/28/awihl-signs-streaming-deal-with-cluch/ |title=AWIHL signs streaming deal with Cluch |publisher=icehockeynewsaustralia.com |first=Lee |last=Collins |date=28 October 2022 |accessdate=3 December 2023 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20221031115948/https://icehockeynewsaustralia.com/2022/10/28/awihl-signs-streaming-deal-with-cluch/ |archivedate=31 October 2022 |url-status=live }}{{cite web | url=https://www.theinnersanctum.com.au/cluch-tv-enters-administration-sporting-organisations-left-scrambling/ | title=Cluch TV enters administration, sporting organisations left scrambling | publisher=theinnersanctum.com.au | first=Steve | last=Poletti | date=28 September 2023 | accessdate=3 December 2023 | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20231007044542/https://www.theinnersanctum.com.au/cluch-tv-enters-administration-sporting-organisations-left-scrambling/ | archivedate=7 October 2023 | url-status=live }}
