Boone Jenner was born on this day 24 years ago in Dorchester, Ontario. Jenner is one of the top Columbus Blue Jackets and a current alternate captain for the club.
At just 24, Boone has already played in 278 NHL games, where he has scored 73 goals and assisted on 56 more. The scrappy and unorthodox style of Jenner has also led him to become a fan favorite in the state’s capital.
Drafted 37th overall in the 2011 draft, Jenner is third in regular season games played of the second rounders chosen that year. He is currently only behind Tampa Bay Lightning star Nikita Kucherov and fellow Blue Jacket Brandon Saad.
