The Calculated and Iconic Career of Josefine Jakobsen, Part One
One of Denmark's all-time greats looks back at a stellar career that's far from over.
Despite starting her hockey career in a country with less than 400 registered female players, Danish defender Josefine Jakobsen set off with determination to become the best in the world.
The two-time Danish Player of the Year has never been denied a point in any international tournament since she joined her senior national team at 16. That year, sizzling off a 79 point season in the domestic Danish league, Jakobsen blazed into the SDHL to win back-to-back-to-back “Most Goals by a Junior.” In her first NCAA season, she ranked ninth in the nation and third in the WCHA for points by a rookie—and these are only scratching the surface of her career accomplishments.
