Jared Britton (JR) is a proud Canadian faithful, you’ll often find him toting pictures of his latest catch from fishing trips in his ‘homeland’. When not catching dinner on the lake, you’ll find Britton burying goals on the pond. A native of Regina, Saskatchewan Britton has a small frame standing 5’10 and 175lbs. What he lacks in size Britton makes up for in tenacity.
‘Deaner’ as he is often called played junior A hockey in the Superior International Junior Hockey League or SIJHL for the Schreiber Diesels. During the 2006-2007 season, the Diesels finished 2nd overall in the SIJHL with a 33-11-2 record. Much thanks to the contributions of Britton who put up 26G and 32A (58pts) in just 38 games.
Britton has struggled slightly in his transition to Div. III hockey putting up only 5 points in 28 games. With two seasons under his belt, 2009-2010 could prove to be his break out year while seeing more ice time. Jared Britton, a player to keep your eye on in 2009-2010!
Jared is majoring in Engineering Technology at UW-Stout.
