Jenny Rocket

Jenny Rocket is a roller derby pivot/blocker with the Calgary Roller Derby Association. She plays with the Thrashin' Lassies. She was drafted from the now-defunct Girl Grinders of Canada in September, 2007. She was selected by the GGOF as part of the initial dispersal draft when the league was formed in 2007.

Jenny Rocket was born in Montreal, Quebec, went to high school in Edmonton, Alberta and attended college in Calgary, Alberta. It was in Calgary that Jenny Rocket joined the local roller derby association.

Rocket created her derby name based on a combination of influences: the old-style nostalgia of the local Johnny Rocket car wash, the proud Montreal tradition of NHL great Maurice "The Rocket" Richard, and her own first name, Jennifer.

Currently, the Calgary Roller Derby Association is in their first year, and game statistics are unavailable. Rocket is a natural pivot who also alternates as a blocker. On the track, she is known for loudly leading her teammates, alerting them to the position of the incoming jammers. Despite her diminutive size, she is known for an aggressive skating style that leads her to initiate contact.
