Brittany was an outstanding hockey player. She was a standout goalie for the Sioux Falls Lady Flyers and many All State Select Teams. Brittany’s greatest pride was being a respected teammate. Not only to her team, but every team she came across. The only difference she ever saw between hockey teams was the jersey’s that they wore. Brittany also played catcher for the Tea Area Softball Teams and the Garretson Blue Dragons enjoying her time with her teammates on and off the field.
