Classification
Brieann Baldock was born with oculocutaneous albinism which has caused her to be legally blind since birth. She has always loved playing sports and being active. Growing up she always played sports with able-bodied athletes. At 16 she discovered goalball at an Alberta Sports and Recreation Association for the Blind (ASRAB) event, and she has been hooked ever since. That same winter she tried blind hockey and loved that too.
She made her national team debut in 2017 at the Pan Am goalball championships helping Canada to gold and a berth at the 2018 worlds.
She credits ASRAB for providing her with the opportunity to be involved in sports that can range from recreation to an elite athlete level.
