But now she is back to ice hockey in the role of sports director.
“HV71 has for several years been one of the leading clubs on the women's side and I look forward to continuing to develop it.
It is also gratifying that we see more young girls starting to play hockey and that HV71 gets players on the national team from the region ", she says in a press release.
"Absolutely the right person"
Club director Johan Lindbom about the recruitment:
“Jenni is the right person to lead the SDHL team.
There are few people with Jenni's experience of elite level hockey.
She has a drive to develop our SDHL team which is very valuable to us.
In addition, Jenni will continue the work with the club's girls' initiative and to get more girls to start playing hockey ".
A couple of weeks ago, Peter Ekelund had to leave HV71 when the role of general manager was removed.
Ekelund was responsible for the women's activities as well as juniors and young people.
