History

Twice passed over in the NHL Entry Draft, Kennedy finally heard his name called in the 2009.

2008-09: In his third full season with the Guelph Storm, Kennedy led the team in goals (33), assists (40) and points (73), more than tripling his point output from the previous year. His goals nearly doubled (17 in 2007-08) and his assists increased tenfold (four in 2007-08). Kennedy was also near the top in penalty minutes, registering 95.

Talent Analysis

The 6’2, 200-plus pound forward was another piece in the Canes’ efforts to bulk up. But that’s not to say Kennedy can’t produce on the scoresheet.

Future

Kennedy is back in the OHL for 2009-10.
