Brother: Jamie Benn

Uncle: Dave Barr (professional golfer)



Jordie Benn is a steady defensive defenseman with decent size and very good strength. Calm in his defensive zone, Benn does an excellent job reading the play and containing his opponent. Battles hard along the boards and thanks to his strong skating is standing his ground. Has only limited puck-moving abilities, but is strong on the puck, possesses a hard shot and plays a crisp 1st pass. With his defensive play, Jordie Benn is the perfect addition to complete a team’s shutdown-pairing. (by Rafik Soliman, January 2018)
