Date News Advice
March 13, 2026 Kidney was acquired by Ottawa from Montreal on Friday in exchange for Hunter Shepard and Jake Chiasson. - Kidney has 11 goals and 33 points in 46 outings with ECHL Trois-Rivieres in 2025-26. He also has an assist in six appearances with AHL Laval this season. Spending most of the campaign in the ECHL doesn't bode well for the 22-year-old's chances of eventually playing in the NHL, but he was originally taken relatively high (No. 63 overall) by Montreal in the 2021 NHL Draft. Perhaps getting a fresh start in Ottawa's minor-league system will benefit Kidney. None
Feb. 5, 2023 Kidney has 21 goals and 48 assists through 41 games for Gatineau of the QMJHL. - Kidney, who opened the season with Acadie-Bathurst before joining the Olympiques, is the seventh-ranked scorer in the circuit. A 2021 second-round pick of Montreal, Kidney is known as a playmaker, ranking fourth in assists this season after landing atop the QMJHL in 2021-22 with 70 helpers. None
May 4, 2022 Kidney signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Canadiens on Wednesday. - Montreal selected Kidney with the 63rd overall pick in the 2021 Entry Draft. The 19-year-old forward spent the 2021-22 campaign with the QMJHL's Acadie-Bathurst Titan, racking up 30 goals and 100 points through 66 contests. Kidney will presumably make the jump to the AHL in 2022-23. None
