Brigette Lacquette is a PWHPA player, and the first First Nations hockey player to make Canada's National Women's Hockey Team, representing her country in the 2018 Olympics in PyeongChang where Team Canada won Silver. Brigette found her love for hockey at a young age, and even when feeling like she was ready to quit, the goals she had set for herself in sport kept her motivated. Through all the challenges she's faced, Brigette knows the value of sports is in the life lessons it offers, like the ability to get back up and reset your goals after a loss, and that the teamwork skills she's taken from it are unmatched. Off the ice she continues to use hockey to inspire and mentor young girls to find joy in what they love, as she has, Brigette says Just #WatchMe lead.
