Olga Petrovna Konysheva (Russian: Ольга Петровна Конышева;[1] born 29 May 1972) is a Kazakhstani retired ice hockey player and former member of the Kazakh national ice hockey team.
There was no organized ice hockey for women or girls available to Konysheva when she was growing up and she pursued speed skating instead. At age 22, she began playing ice hockey. Two years later, in 1996, she joined Avangard Omsk in the Russian Women's Hockey League (RWHL). Across four RWHL seasons with Avangard, she scored sixteen goals and 27 points and accumulated 46 penalty minutes in 46 games.[2]
Konysheva joined Aisulu Almaty, in her home city of Almaty, by 2007 at the latest. With Aisulu, Konysheva participated in six IIHF European Women's Champions Cup tournaments and six EWHL Super Cup tournaments. She remained with the club until her retirement in 2023.
