NCAA


Her NCAA career included three years at the University of Minnesota Duluth, and one year at the University of Minnesota. Potter set an NCAA record (since tied) for most goals in one game with 6. This was accomplished on December 18, 2002 versus St. Cloud State.[2] Potter is the all-time leading scorer in Bulldogs history and was named to the WCHA All-Decade team in 2009.[3] She was a four-time All-American. On January 21, 2011, Jenny Potter, along with Bulldog alumni Caroline Ouellette and Maria Rooth took part in a ceremonial faceoff to mark the first ever game at Amsoil Arena.[4]


Team USA


Schmidgall-Potter has been on the US Women’s team since 1997, competing at three Winter Olympics, and at seven World Championships, winning gold medals in 2005, 2008, and 2009, and four silver medals in 1999, 2001, 2004, and 2007. As a 19-year-old, Schmidgall-Potter was the second youngest player on the 1998 U.S. Olympic Team.[5] In 1999, she led the U.S. in scoring at the IIHF Women’s World Championships with 12 points in five games as the U.S. won the Silver Medal. By winning the silver medal at the 2010 Olympics, Potter became the most decorated Olympic medalist in Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs hockey history.[6]


Professional hockey



Minnesota Whitecaps


With the Minnesota Whitecaps, Potter was part of the first US based team to win the Clarkson Cup.[7] With the Clarkson Cup victory, Potter became an unofficial member of the Triple Gold Club (women are not yet recognized by the IIHF), as she became one of only three women to win the Clarkson Cup, a gold medal in ice hockey at the 1998 Winter Olympics, and a gold medal at the IIHF women's world hockey championships.


Boston Blades


In the summer of 2014, Potter was selected in the first round of the 2014 CWHL Draft to the Boston Blades. She played less than a full season for the Blades, while juggling coaching duties at Trinity College.


Coaching career


In the summer of 2013 she was named head coach of the women's hockey team at Trinity College and retained that position for two seasons.


NCAA


In spring 2015, Potter was named the third head coach in the history of the Ohio State Buckeyes women's ice hockey program, replacing Nate Hanrahan. She was released from the program in August 2016.[8]
