The Philadelphia Hockey Club, proud members of the Eastern Hockey League (EHL), are pleased to announce that assistant captain and defenseman Kieran Kenny has committed to play NCAA Division III Ice Hockey for the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts Trailblazers who play in the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC). His commitment begins in the fall of 2025.

Kenny played two seasons with PHC. He recorded 16 total points (3 goals and 13 assists) in 88 games played. This past season the Kalamazoo, MI native earned 11 points (2 goals and 9 assists) in 46 games played.

“Coach Adam often asked the team this year about who we played for,” said Kenny. “I play for those who have supported and helped me reach this goal.  I play especially for my parents and brothers, who have espoused and encouraged me every step of the way in reaching this goal. I play for my teammates and coaches, both present and past, without their support this would have not been possible. I would like to thank Coach Adam specifically, for giving me an opportunity with PHC and advocating for me through this entire process. I am incredibly proud and privileged to have received an opportunity to further both my hockey and educational pursuits. I would like to thank Coach Ketts for believing in me and giving me this opportunity. PHC has been my family for the past two years and I cannot wait for my next four years at MCLA” stated Kenny.

“Another family member from PHC makes his commitment to college” said PHC Head Coach and General Manager Adam Bartholomay. “We could not be happier for Kieran to make his commitment to MCLA and to Coach Ketts for giving him the opportunity.  We look forward to watching Kieran excel at the college level and wish him nothing but the best. Kieran is a leader on and off the ice and has been a tremendous asset to our team for two seasons.  Good luck showtime!” Concluded Bartholomay.

Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (MCLA) is located in North Adams, MA.
