Matt Kenny Returns to Ice for Inclusion
from Ottawa News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
After 20 years away, former Kingston hockey star Matt Kenny is back on the ice—not just to play, but to host a powerful event designed to make hockey truly inclusive for everyone. At Matt’s Hockey Homecoming & Community Pride Skate, he’s bringing together old teammates, hosting free skills clinics, inclusive coaching seminars, and a community skate—all aimed at welcoming athletes of every background. Kenny, who once hid his identity as a closeted athlete in a rigid hockey culture, now works with You Can Play to champion inclusion. Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2021, he’s turned personal struggle into inspiration, with former teammate Ryan Ambrose praising his impact. Kenny’s message? Everyone belongs on the ice—and he’s here to prove it. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
