Canadian ice hockey player (born 1991) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brianne Alexandra Jenner (born May 4, 1991) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player and captain for the Ottawa Charge of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) and a member of Canada women's national ice hockey team.
She made her debut for Canada at the 2010 Four Nations Cup and won a gold medal. She played college hockey with the Cornell Big Red women's ice hockey program.
Before signing in the PWHL, Jenner served on the board of directors of the Professional Women's Hockey Players Association (PWHPA) and currently serves on the executive committee of the Professional Women's Hockey League Players Association (PWHLPA).
In high school, Jenner was the Appleby College hockey team captain. Jenner played junior hockey in the Provincial Women's Hockey League with the Stoney Creek Sabres. She was also the captain of Team Ontario Red at the 2008 National Women's Under-18 Championship. She scored the game-winning goal in double overtime of the gold medal game.[1]
On October 29 and 30, 2010, Jenner played a role in both victories for the Cornell Big Red ice hockey team. On October 29, she had three assists at Quinnipiac. The following day, she scored a pair of goals and added an assist at Princeton.[2]
During three games from February 7 to February 11, 2012, Jenner led her team with eight points. Versus nationally ranked Mercyhurst, Jenner had a goal and an assist in a February 7 victory over Mercyhurst. In a 5–0 shutout win over the Brown Bears (on February 10), Jenner garnered two assists from two goals. On February 11, Jenner scored the game-winning goal versus the Yale Bulldogs that clinched the ECAC Hockey regular-season championship. In addition, she scored another goal, earning her 30th assist of the season.[citation needed]
Before going to college, Jenner played with the Mississauga Chiefs during the 2008–09 Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL) season. The following season, she joined the Burlington Barracudas, and then left for Cornell in 2010.
On June 6, 2015, Jenner announced her entry into the 2015 CWHL Draft with the intention of being selected by the Calgary Inferno, as she would also be studying for a master's degree in public policy at the University of Calgary and would be able to play alongside three or more Cornell Big Red graduates.[3][4] Jenner captained the Inferno and helped the team capture their first Clarkson Cup championship in 2016. Contested at Ottawa's Canadian Tire Centre, she scored twice in an 8–3 victory over Les Canadiennes de Montréal.[5] She helped the team win a second Clarkson Cup title in 2019.[6] After the 2018–19 season, the CWHL abruptly ceased operations.
After the collapse of the CWHL in 2019, Jenner helped launch the Professional Women's Hockey Players Association (PWHPA), which led a boycott of the remaining North American professional league, the National Women's Hockey League, in a bid to gather support for the establishment of a unified, financially sustainable professional league.[7] Jenner skated for Team Sonnet (Toronto) in the 2021 Secret Cup, the Canadian leg of the 2020–21 PWHPA Dream Gap Tour. She recorded one goal in a 4-2 championship game loss versus Team Bauer (Montreal).[8]
Following the PWHPA and the rival Premier Hockey Federation consolidating into the new Professional Women's Hockey League in 2023, Jenner was one of three initial free agent signings made by PWHL Ottawa. She and fellow Team Canada members Emily Clark and Emerance Maschmeyer were the first players announced by any team in the league.[9][10] On December 29, 2023, Jenner was named Ottawa's captain.[11] Jenner scored her first PWHL goal on January 23, 2024, in a 3–1 win over Toronto.[12]
In a January 9, 2008, contest versus Germany at the inaugural World Women's Under-18 hockey championship, Jenner scored twice and earned an assist in a 10–1 win.[13] Jenner participated in tryouts for the senior national team ahead of the 2010 Olympics and 2011 World Championships, but did not make the rosters—she instead made her senior debut at the 2012 Women's World Championship.[7][14] Jenner was named to the 2014 Olympic roster for Canada.[15] She was named assistant captain of the national team in 2015.[7]
On January 11, 2022, Jenner was named to Canada's 2022 Olympic team.[16][17][18] Her 9 goals in the tournament tied the Olympic record for most goals in a single women's tournament, capping off a tournament MVP nod and her 2nd Olympic gold medal.[19]
In July 2019, Jenner married her longtime partner Hayleigh Cudmore, a former teammate with Cornell and the Calgary Inferno.[20][21][22]
Jenner served on the board of directors for the Professional Women's Hockey Players Association (PWHPA) and, upon the formation of the PWHL in 2023, was named to the labour union's executive committee.[7][23]
