As a player, he walked onto the Boston University hockey team, worked his way up to become the Beanpot MVP and won a national title his Senior season. As a coach, Kenny has worked with the best minds across the globe and been a driver for positive change from the ADM model to eliminating icing on the PK at the youth level. He's an expert, great story teller, and all around great person to be involved in youth athletics.  Grab a notebook and be prepared to learn something.
