Winny Brodt-Brown was one of Gopher Women's Hockey's first huge stars. After transferring from New Hampshire after one season, the Roseville, Minn., native quickly established herself as one of the country's most dominant defensive players. As a sophomore in 1998-99, Brodt-Brown tallied 45 points (14 goals, 31 assists) and posted a team-high +52 plus/minus rating. In 2000 she was named the WCHA Defensive Player of the Year, All-WCHA First Team and was a Top 10 finalist for the Patty Kazmaier Award after registering 13 goals and 37 assists. She helped guide the Gophers to the AWCHA National Championship, marking the first women's team national title in school history

After her junior season, she left the Gophers to play on the U.S. National Team. In 58 games with the National Team, BrodtBrown scored 38 points and won a silver medal at the World Championships. She returned to the Gophers in 2002-03 and was selected as an alternate captain and helped the Gophers to a Frozen Four appearance for the fourth time in the last five years. Brodt-Brown finished her career setting career records for points (134), goals (41) and assists (93) by a defensive player.

Upon leaving the University of Minnesota, she joined the Minnesota Whitecaps of the WWHL in their inaugural 2004-05 season. In 2006, she was joined by her sister and Gopher letterwinner Chelsey. They played every season with the Whitecaps, including their 2010 Clarkson Cup win, and through the team's independent years after the dissolution of the WWHL in 2011. Both signed contracts with the Whitecaps for its inaugural 2018-19 season in the professional National Women's Hockey League (NWHL).
