The majority of fans probably do not remember Ronald Kenins, when he played for the Vancouver Canucks ten years ago, he only played 30 games, despite not putting up horrible stats, he ended up going back to Europe and has now found himself on the Kyiv Capitals of the Latvian Hockey League.
“Evander Kane’s time with the Vancouver Canucks organization is coming to a close as the veteran winger is expected to be traded by the club at some point before the deadline on Friday, March 6th.”-Jaxon
Former Vancouver Canucks Ronald Kenins finds new home.
Adam Kierszenblat posted on X of Kenins’ new team, he was a free agent prior to joining them. And has a long career playing in the swiss league, after leaving the NHL, but now the 34 year old is playing in the league of his home country, even though his team is in Ukraine.
Former #Canucks forward Ronalds Ķēniņ¨ has a new home.
During his time with the Canucks, Kenins put four goals and eight assists in 30 regular season games. And then recorded two points in five games in the playoffs of that 2014-2015 season. He then spent two seasons with the Utica Comets, the former AHL team of the Canucks where he recorded 34 points in 77 games. It was then time for Kenins to move back to Europe where he played for the Zurich Lions in the Swiss Elite League, and his points decreased even more as the years went on. Kenins likely has only a few years left in the tank, but this news can bring Canucks fans back ten years and remember former rosters of more competitive Canucks teams.
