Brianne Jenner

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.{{cite web |url=http://www.hockeycanada.ca/index.php?ci_id=11737&la_id=1&ss_id=24630&player_id=10164 |title=The Official Website of Hockey Canada |publisher=Hockeycanada.ca |access-date=January 11, 2014 |archive-date=June 4, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120604152540/http://www.hockeycanada.ca/index.php?ci_id=11737&la_id=1&ss_id=24630&player_id=10164 |url-status=live }}

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.{{cite web |url=http://www.ecachockey.com/women/2010-11/Weekly_Awards/20100211_W_Wkly_Awards |title=Weekly Awards: Ryabkina, Jenner & Mazzotta Take Home Honors |publisher=ECAC Hockey |date=November 2, 2010 |access-date=January 11, 2014 |archive-date=November 24, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161124092605/http://www.ecachockey.com/women/2010-11/Weekly_Awards/20100211_W_Wkly_Awards |url-status=dead }}

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|date=November 2016}}

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.[http://www.cwhl.ca/view/cwhlalberta/calgary-inferno-news-1/news_309099 2014 Olympic Gold Medalist Brianna Jenner sets sight on playing for the Inferno] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150711031128/http://www.cwhl.ca/view/cwhlalberta/calgary-inferno-news-1/news_309099|date=July 11, 2015}}[http://www.sportsnet.ca/960/boomer-morning/gold-medalist-jenner-to-join-calgary-inferno/ Gold Medalist Jenner to Join Calgary Inferno] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150818102550/http://www.sportsnet.ca/960/boomer-morning/gold-medalist-jenner-to-join-calgary-inferno/|date=August 18, 2015}} 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.{{cite web |last=Wallace |first=Lisa |date=2016-03-13 |title=Clarkson Cup: Calgary upends Montreal for women's hockey title |url=http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/news/clarkson-cup-montreal-calgary-final-1.3489815 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221110224727/https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/clarkson-cup-montreal-calgary-final-1.3489815 |archive-date=2022-11-10 |access-date=2016-03-15 |website=CBC Sports |publisher= |agency=The Canadian Press}} She helped the team win a second Clarkson Cup title in 2019.{{Cite news |last=Shulman |first=Mike |date=2019-03-24 |title=Inferno take down Canadiennes to win franchise's 2nd Clarkson Cup |url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/clarkson-cup-recap-1.5069595 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190401010320/https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/clarkson-cup-recap-1.5069595 |archive-date=2019-04-01 |access-date=2024-01-23 |work=CBC Sports |agency=The Canadian Press}} 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. 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).{{Cite news|url= https://www.sportsnet.ca/women-hockey/article/team-bauer-beats-team-sonnet-win-canadian-leg-pwhpa-secret-dream-gap-tour/|title= Team Bauer beats Team Sonnet to win Canadian leg of PWHPA Secret Dream Gap Tour|website= sportsnet.ca|date= 2021-05-30|access-date= 2021-06-01|language= en|archive-date= June 24, 2021|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20210624200402/https://www.sportsnet.ca/women-hockey/article/team-bauer-beats-team-sonnet-win-canadian-leg-pwhpa-secret-dream-gap-tour/|url-status= live}}

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.{{Cite news|url=https://news.thepwhl.com/emily-clark-brianne-jenner-emerance-maschmeyer-sign-professional-womens-hockey-league-contracts-with-ottawa/|title=EMILY CLARK, BRIANNE JENNER, EMERANCE MASCHMEYER SIGN PROFESSIONAL WOMEN'S HOCKEY LEAGUE (PWHL) CONTRACTS WITH OTTAWA|website=PWHL|date=2023-09-05|access-date=2023-09-05|language=en|archive-date=September 5, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230905190540/https://news.thepwhl.com/emily-clark-brianne-jenner-emerance-maschmeyer-sign-professional-womens-hockey-league-contracts-with-ottawa/|url-status=live}}{{Cite news|url=https://thehockeynews.com/womens/pwhl/jenner-mashmeyer-clark-signs-with-pwhl-ottawa|title=Jenner, Maschmeyer, Clark Sign With PWHL Ottawa|last=Kennedy|first=Ian|magazine=The Hockey News|date=2023-09-05|access-date=2023-09-05|language=en|archive-date=September 5, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230905231037/https://thehockeynews.com/womens/pwhl/jenner-mashmeyer-clark-signs-with-pwhl-ottawa|url-status=live}} On December 29, 2023, Jenner was named Ottawa's captain.{{Cite news |last=Donkin |first=Karissa |date=2023-12-29 |title=Marie-Philip Poulin, Brianne Jenner named captains of PWHL Montreal, Ottawa |url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/pwhl/pwhl-montreal-ottawa-captains-1.7071370 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231231052420/https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/pwhl/pwhl-montreal-ottawa-captains-1.7071370 |archive-date=2023-12-31 |access-date=2024-01-05 |work=CBC Sports}} Jenner scored her first PWHL goal on January 23, 2024, in a 3–1 win over Toronto.{{Cite news |date=2024-01-23 |title=Ottawa finally wins PWHL game at home, beats Toronto |url=https://www.tsn.ca/pwhl/ottawa-finally-wins-pwhl-game-at-home-beats-toronto-1.2066841 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240124033749/https://www.tsn.ca/pwhl/ottawa-finally-wins-pwhl-game-at-home-beats-toronto-1.2066841 |archive-date=2024-01-24 |access-date=2024-01-25 |work=TSN |agency=The Canadian Press}}
