BIOGRAPHY:
Saskatchewan women’s hockey great Breanne George is not only the Huskies’ all-time leader in goals with 81 and points with 144, she’s among the most prolific scorers in Canada West history.
George was Canada West MVP for the 2009-10 season, when she led the conference with 28 goals and 46 points. The Saskatoon native was also a three-time Canada West All-Star (First Team in 2010 and 2011, Second Team in 2012) and a First Team All-Canadian in 2010 and 2011.
George reached double-digit goals all five of her years. From 2008-09 to 2010-11 she had back-to-back-to-back campaigns with at least 15 goals to lead the Huskies in all three of those seasons. Over her career, she appeared in 105 regular season games, notching 81 goals and 63 assists for 144 points.
In 2011, George was selected to represent Canada at the FISU Winter Games in Erzurum, Turkey, where she racked up 7 goals and 12 points in 7 games to help her nation capture women’s hockey gold.
George earned a bachelor’s in kinesiology while playing for the Huskies, and in 2016 graduated a master’s in physical therapy. She has worked as a certified professional trainer, and currently is a physiotherapist in Sherwood Park, Alberta.
