DETROIT (January 2, 2026) – The Vancouver Goldeneyes have announced that rookie defender Nina Jobst-Smith has been activated from long-term injured reserve (LTIR) ahead of Saturday’s Takeover Tour game in Detroit against the Boston Fleet.
Jobst-Smith has missed the team’s first nine games after sustaining a lower-body injury prior to the start of the season. The 24-year-old from North Vancouver, BC was selected by Vancouver in the third round, 19th overall, in the 2025 PWHL Draft following her collegiate career at the University of Minnesota-Duluth.
In a corresponding roster move, the Goldeneyes have returned forward Malia Schneider to the team’s Reserve Player list.
