GIRL HOCKEY SCHOLARSHIP HONORING BRITTANY’S LEGACY

This Scholarship will allow Brittany "The Ninja" to do what she wanted to do most, help others. Brittany never cared what jersey you wore, she would battle you on the ice and hug and laugh with you after!
SCHOLARSHIP OVERVIEW
The Scholarship will be awarded each year at the South Dakota Girls Varsity Tournament to a girl hockey player in South Dakota that has the same caring, sportsman attitude, and community involvement as Brittany did. The family and friends of Brittany wish to honor her memory by awarding a scholarship to a graduating senior female hockey player in the State of South Dakota to attend an accredited post-secondary educational institution of their choice.
