Minnesota Frost forward Britta Curl-Salemme draws strength from her Catholic

What would Curl-Salemme tell a young Catholic athlete who is dreaming of one day going to the Olympics? “Live your faith boldly, especially in your sports, because we need that more than anything,” she said, adding that “you don’t have to do anything crazy, just live your faith. Keep going to the sacraments and being a good teammate, it’s going to be way more beneficial for you than winning any game or championship.”
Ultimately, Curl-Salemme does see hockey as one of her “paths to be a saint.” She said there’s a lot to learn from “the daily ins and outs of being on a team and being with tons of different people with different backgrounds and different personalities and the way that, as a team sport, you’re tested to sometimes die to yourself and put the team ahead of yourself.”
“It’s such good practice for greater life and things that Jesus is asking you to do,” she emphasized. “I kind of see it as like a little training, a little training table for heaven and for how I’m supposed to be.”
