MONTREAL – Some opportunities in life are just too good to pass up.
For Jenny Scrivens, the wife of Canadiens netminder Ben Scrivens, the chance to play competitive women’s hockey again after a six-year absence meant far too much to ignore. Scrivens, who hadn’t donned goalie equipment for real since her collegiate days at Cornell University in 2009, returned to the game she loved over the summer on two fronts, joining the newly established National Women’s Hockey League (NWHL) as both a player with the New York Riveters, and as a member of the league’s media and public relations team at its head office in Brooklyn, NY.
