Lauren Brazel has dedicated more than 11years to playing competitive hockey for the Dolphin organization. Over the years she has won playoff titles, a Lower Lakes Female Hockey League (LLFHL) title, and even a provincial bronze medal.

She has made friends, memories and learned many crucial lessons, including; team work, social skills, and how to maintain a reputation as a top student at Father John Redmond High School. She is a leader both on the ice and in the classroom, and is recognized by Father John Redmond high school as a high honour student. Her passion for sports and her work ethic has led her to become a defensive force to reckon with in school and on teams. Lauren is an executive member of Key Club, a team dedicated to raising money for several charities over the course of the school year. This includes; St. Vincent De Paul’s women’s shelter and families in need, Dr. Simone’s food and candy drive, and even families within the community who need support. Furthermore, Lauren is a proud member of Redmond’s “Relay for Life” team, where she organizes an event to raise money for cancer research.

She is grateful for all the opportunities sports has provided for her, and hopes to continue her athletic journey as she departs for university. Lauren plans on attending McMaster University, where she will study Life Science, with intention to specialize in neuroscience.
