Jenna Velji: Burnaby hockey player eager to play at BC Games

When Jenna Velji learned to skate as a tyke she got a taste of hockey and she knew right away it was the game for her.

Velji’s parents tried to steer her toward figure skating, but she was having none of it.

“I was totally into hockey. No ringette or anything like that. I knew hockey was my sport,” Velji recalls.

Velji’s parents relented and signed her up to play in the Burnaby Minor Hockey Association.
