Jenson’s Journey to England U12 Ice Hockey!

Jenson, a student at Hull Trinity House Academy, has been selected for the England Under-12 ice hockey team and took part in a tournament in Slovakia in January 2025.

He started skating after the lockdown and joined the Kingston Sharks Under-10s in March 2021. He now trains twice a week and often skates with older players aged 14 to 16. At home, he continues to practise on a synthetic ice pad.

After just missing out on a place in the England Under-11s team in 2023, Jenson continued to work hard and was invited to trial again in 2024. Following three national trials, he earned a place in the squad, which held official training in December at Lee Valley Ice Arena.

To support his participation, Jenson received £1,500 from the Delta Academies Charitable Trust to help cover the costs of equipment, entry fees, travel, and accommodation.
