How She Got Started

Jenna started skating at about age four.  Actually started in figure skating.
After about 3 years however, she wanted to do what her brothers did - - - play hockey.  So in 2nd grade, she was signed up with the local girls hockey program.

Jenna then made the decision to skate with the boys for her 4th, 5th, and 6th grade years.  That's two years of Squire A and one year of Pee Wee.  She was even a captain.  Her father, Michael Kilpatrick, was the coach.  And he recalls having a ball with Jenna and the other players

Her older brother, Jimmy Kilpatrick, made first team all-state as a senior.   Jimmy was captain of the Holy Angels team that finished the regular season rated No.1 in the state.

Jenna Kilpatrick
No.7
New Prague

A Final Tribute

Jenna has put New Prague on the Minnesota high school girls hockey map.

No.2 all-time career scorer with 483 points.

As far as her coach, Dan Gullickson, is concerned, Jenna's legacy is more than just goals and assists.  "We haven't lost a player to another program since she got here," Dan said.  "That's very important in a community of our size."

"What she has done for our program will never be matched by anyone else.  She will go down as one of the best players in the history of girls' hockey.  And when anybody thinks of New Prague girls' hockey, they will think of Jenna Kilpatrick."                  New Prague coach Dan Gullickson

Jenna
will be the first player to finish their high school hockey career at New Prague and go on to play Division I hockey.  Two others who played hockey for the Trojans, then played Division I But neither finished their high school career in New Prague.
This year's team (2006-07) never reached their potential.  Jenna ended up playing D about 20-25% of the year.  New Prague lacked offense when she dropped back but she did it for the team and never questioned her duties.

She had a great year with trying to help all the kids learn the game better.  She took the new younger girls under her wing and they just love her.  She was the big sister [to them].
                                   
Michael Kilpatrick,  Jenna's father
