Emily was a beloved daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin, coach, and friend who left us too soon at the age of 22. Born in North Vancouver, BC, on March 17, 1998, she was known for her radiant smile and captivating spirit.
From a young age, Emily excelled in sports, often seen cheering for her brother Brennan in hockey, football, and soccer. Her love for competition shone through in everything she did, particularly in hockey, which became her passion. As captain of the Balmoral Hall Blazers in high school, she was an inspirational leader and a dominant player.
Emily proudly represented Team Manitoba at the National Aboriginal Hockey Championships, showcasing her skills on a national stage. After high school, she played division 1 NCAA hockey at St. Lawrence University, where her parents, Kim and Jay, were her steadfast supporters. Emily's love for the game also inspired her mom to learn more about hockey, cheering her on through every match. In her third year at university, she became an academic All-Canadian while playing for the University of Regina Cougars. That summer, she welcomed River, her beloved dog, who brought her joy and companionship.
Emily was not only a talented athlete but also a dedicated coach, helping to inspire the next generation of players in the National Aboriginal Hockey Championship program. Her kindness and passion for sports left a lasting impact on everyone she encountered.
Emily is survived by her parents, Kim and Jay; her brother Brennan (Jessica); her grandparents Jim and Karren; aunts, uncles, and numerous cousins. She is predeceased by her nan Ann.
Though her loss is profound, the legacy of her achievements and the love she left behind will never be forgotten.
