Originally from Toronto, Jenn played in the Ontario 'Junior A' league, co-captaining the Durham Jr. Lightning in 2009-10. She was then recruited by Yale University, where she played NCAA Division 1 Ice Hockey for the Bulldogs from 2010-12. She went on to play for the Oxford University Women's Blues, captaining the team in 2015-16. Although her work as a barrister now sometimes requires her to miss STORM games, this hasn't dampened her commitment to the ultimate cause - as one teammate eloquently put: "50% chance of going to game but 100% chance of going to pub."
