REGINA --
A member of Team Saskatchewan is living out her dream of playing in the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, following several years of curling taking a back seat so she could focus on her life outside of the sport.
Breanne Knapp turned down some offers and opportunities before joining Team Sherry Anderson in 2020.
“I focused on family a lot, I focused on post-secondary education and I think those things for me, I value highly and I don’t regret anything,” Knapp, who is a registered dietician, said.
Knapp, originally from Manitoba, was a junior curling phenom. In 2009, she won a Canadian Junior National Junior Championship with Kaitlyn Lawes – now a two-time Olympic gold medalist and member of Team Manitoba. At the World Junior Championships, the team won a silver medal.
