Talent Analysis

Jenner turned heads in the OHL when he became captain of the Generals last year. He improved his foot speed as well as his solid two-way game.  He has an accurate slap shot and great one-on-one moves to go with his soft hands in front of the net. He is a great leader and has a knack for catching opposing players with their heads down.

 

Future

Jenner is a year away from the NHL. He is already a fan favorite in Columbus and, despite cooling off in the World Junior Championships, he is consistently growing as a hockey player.
