Playing career

Ice hockey

Having played minor hockey with a pair of boys teams, the Belleville Bobcats (AA level) and the Quinte Red Devils (AAA level), she would join the Durham Lightning of the original NWHL at 16 years young. In addition, Jarrell would win a gold medal at the 2003 Canada Winter Games, playing for Team Ontario.[3]

Jarrell joined the Mercyhurst Lakers women's ice hockey program in the autumn of 2003. Amassing 19 points in her freshman campaign (2003–04), she would miss the 2005–06 season due to concussion. Named an alternate captain for the 2006-07 campaign, she would graduate in 2008, having appeared in 99 games for the Lakers, winning four conference championships.

Inline hockey

Introduced to inline hockey as a means of training for her ice hockey endeavors, Jarrell first joined the national team in 2006, becoming an assistant captain in 2011. Having played for Canada at 10 FIRS Inline Hockey World Championships, she has captured two gold medals, six silver medals and two bronze medals.[2] As a side note, former Mercyhurst Lakers teammates, Michelle Bonello and Samantha Shirley, also spent time with the Inline National Team.

Jarrell's first gold medal came at the 2012 World Championships in Bucaramanga, Colombia, with the squad enjoying a 6–0 record.[4] As a side note, Bonello was also a member of the Canadian contingent.

Four years later, at the 2016 FIRS World Inline Hockey Championships, contested at the Hodegart Arena Asiago in Italy, Canada defeated the United States to capture the gold medal. In the championship game, Jarrell recorded a goal and an assist. Four minutes into the contest, she assisted on a goal by Montana Merante, while she recorded a third period goal.[5]

The 2017 edition of the World Championships, hosted in Nanjing, China, marked Jarrell's tenth appearance at the Worlds. Opposing the Czech Republic in the bronze medal game, prevailing in a 3–1 final, it also signified her tenth podium finish in Worlds play.[6] Having retired from the national team due to back injuries, Jarrell served as the team's Strength and Conditioning Coach in 2018.[2]

Coming out of retirement in 2019, Jarrell had 10 points in Canada's first three games at the 2019 World Women's In-Line Hockey Championship in Barcelona, Spain. Logging a goal and an assist in an 8–0 win over Sweden, with Canada improving to 3–0, she also contributed a hat-trick in a victory against India.[7]
