David H. played for the University of Minnesota, but was drafted by the Minnesota North Stars in the 1980 NHL entry draft. He represented the US at the 1980 and 1981 World Junior Championships and the 1986 World Championships. Jensen played parts of three NHL seasons with the North Stars (1983-86) but appeared in only 18 games in his NHL career. He also played in the Central Hockey League with the Salt Lake Golden Eagles and the Birmingham South Stars, and in the American Hockey League with the Springfield Indians. But he ended his career in Europe, moving there in 1986 and playing three seasons, with SV Renon in Italy, and ASG Tours in France.
