For as long as BrianneFor as long as BrianneF Jenner can remember, the end of summer has meant the beginning of hockey season. That will change when September rolls around. "It's not a glamorous time to be a professional women's hockey player," Jenner said. "It's a different year coming up, but I'm pre- paring as if there was a sea- son." Of course, there won't be. Not after the Canadian Women's Hockey LeagueWomen's Hockey LeagueW abruptly folded in March. The announcement came just a week after Jenner helped the Calgary Inferno win its second Clarkson Cup, and days before she and the Canadian women's team opened the world championship tournament. "We were shell shocked," said the two-time Olympic medallist. While the U.S.-based Na- tional Women's Hockey League (NWHL) continues to operate, Jenner was among the 200-plus players that have chosen to sit out the year rather than play in a league that doesn't pro- vide health insurance or a livable salary. The players, who have formed the Pro- fessional Women's Hockeyfessional Women's Hockeyf Players' Association, don't believe the NWHL's busi- ness model will be able to provide those essentials and would prefer to start a new league, potentially with the NHL's backing. For many players, thatFor many players, thatF will mean no hockey at all this winter. Jenner will still have training camps and games with the national team, including the world championships on home ice in Halifax, but the lack of anywhere to play in the weeks between tourna- ments will provide a chal- lenge. Jenner's willing to make that sacrifice if it leads to a financially stable women's league. "We want to make sure when we build that league, it's the premier league in North America." While a strong women's league would be a boon for the game, Jenner is doing her part for the sport by helping the next generation of players. She'll host her third hockey academy at Sixteen Mile Sports Com- plex July 29 to Aug. 2. There are full-day programs and half-day programs catering to all skill levels, from be- ginners to university- bound players. "I grew up going to and working at my dad's hockey school," Jenner said. "There's a lot of positive memories there." Now with her own acad- emy, Jenner tries to create a fun environment whilefun environment whilef "pushing outside the box" in teaching skills. Among the instructors will be Jen- ner's Canadian teammate Erin Ambrose and Montre- al Canadiens skating coach Marc Power.

JENNER CONTINUES TO HELP BUILD WOMEN'S HOCKEY While she might not have a league to play in next season, two-time Olympic medallist Brianne Jenner will be helping local players prepare for their seasons with her third annual hockey academy at Sixteen Mile Sports Complex in Oakville.
