Karen Bremner
This is Karen’s sixth year with the Lightning organization. She spent four years working her way through the Midget and Juvenile programs as a player and recently came back to work with the Midget girls as a coach.

Karen played at the University of Western Ontario until an injury forced her to retire. This led her to get her Level I and II NCCP coaching certification as well as her Red Cross Sport First Aid and CPR "C"/AED certification.

In addition to the Lightning, Karen works with the Bishop Macdonell Celtics in Guelph during the high school season. As a player Karen always had passion and dedication to the game, she plans to continue coach for many years to come.
