Women Fitness President Ms. Namita Nayyar catches up with Brianne Jenner– an exceptionally talented and accomplished internationally acclaimed Canadian professional ice hockey player, a three-time Olympic medalist.
Brianne thank you for taking the time to speak with us today. We wish to cover the full spectrum of your life, from the biggest stages to the daily routines that keep you at the top of your game.
Namita Nayyar:
On November 26, 2025, you tied the PWHL single-game record with four points against Vancouver, becoming the first Charge player to do so. You scored both a power-play goal and a shorthanded goal in that game. Can you walk us through your mindset in a performance like that? When do you know you’re in one of those “flow states”?
Brianne Jenner:
You prepare the same for every game. My mindset is to go in knowing what I want my habits to look like. My mindset doesn’t change much from game to game but of course there are days where you do feel in that flow state- whether it’s just how bounces go in the game or how your team is playing, and that night felt like one of those games. My greatest indicator that I’m in that flow state is usually that I’m not thinking at all, just being, reacting, playing and not analyzing too much.
Namita Nayyar:
You’ve found great chemistry with line mates like Daryl Watts and Kateřina Mrázová. What is it about your playing styles that complement each other so well and how does that chemistry develop over the course of a long season?
Brianne Jenner:
These were my line mates in the 2023 season. Watts plays for Toronto now.
