This season for the Blizzard, the 5-foot-10 left-handed forward had 31 assists (second most on the team) and 18 goals (third on the team).
In the Fraser Cup championship tournament, Sean Kenny led the Blizzard in points with five (all assists). Kenny's five points were the second-highest individual total in the tournament.
Kenny is one of a handful of Blizzard players who are headed to college level.
Goaltender Konrad Kaucsh is headed to St. Mary’s University, forward Jack Whitmore is headed to Hamline University , and Alexandria Blizzard alumnus Joe Westlund has committed to Bethel University. All three of those schools are NCAA DIII schools that play in the Minnesota College Athletic Conference.
Westlund is an Alexandria native who has played for the Alexandria High School team, Northstar Christian Academy, and the Alexandria Blizzard.
For the Cardinals (2017-2020), the 6-foot forward scored 53 points (25 goals and 28 assists), and was a part of the team’s runner-up finish at the 2018 state tournament.
