Utah High School Hockey Inc

The family of Emmalynn Herbstritt has coordinated with Utah High School Hockey, the Utah Junior Grizzlies, the Utah Lady Grizzlies, Utah Amateur Hockey Association and all of Utah hockey to provide this site for those wishing to donate rather than send flowers. Although the funds will be held in trust by Utah High School Hockey, a 501(c)(3) organization, so that donations will be tax deductible, the Herbstritts will ultimately decide on the use of funds. All funds will be given to other 501(c)3 eligible organizations, and no funds will be used for non-charitable purposes.

The entire Utah hockey community mourns the loss of Emmalynn Herbstritt to a rock-climbing accident in Moab, Utah. Emmalynn was passionate about both nature and hockey. She competed for the Utah Junior Grizzlies and Lady Grizzlies for many seasons. She played high school hockey for Brighton as a freshwoman and then for East through graduation. Emmalynn was an alternate captain for East and the recipient of the Art Teece Lady MVP award in 2019. Emmalynn is the daughter of Bryan and Misty Herbstritt, who have devoted thousands of hours to Utah hockey as state board members. Misty is the current Vice President for Utah High School Hockey. Emmalynn was the older sister to Bentley, a senior for the Salt Lake Stars, and Audrey. Emmalynn will be greatly missed.
