Here’s more from the Toledo Blade’s Mark Monroe:
Former longtime Toledo Walleye forward A.J. Jenks has retired.
Jenks, who played five seasons for the Walleye from 2014-19, announced his decision on Twitter.
The 31-year-old forward from Wolverine Lake, Mich., played the last two seasons for the Fort Wayne Komets. Last season, Jenks served as Fort Wayne’s captain and helped lead the Komets to the ECHL’s Kelly Cup championship.
“What a ride it has been,” Jenks wrote on Twitter. “So blessed and thankful to be able to play the game I love for 11 years. A big thank you to everyone that has helped along the way, especially teammates, coaches, trainers, and fans.”
Jenks played in 579 games at the American Hockey League and ECHL level.
