Kennedy Marchment (born December 6, 1996) is a Canadian ice hockey forward, currently on long-term injury reserve from PWHL Montreal of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL).

Playing career[edit]

Across 142 NCAA games with the St. Lawrence Saints women's ice hockey program, Marchment scored 154 points, being named a top-10 finalist for the 2017 Patty Kazmaier Award.[1]

She was selected 2nd overall by the Buffalo Beauts in the 2017 NWHL Draft.[2]

In 2018–19, her rookie season in the Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL), Marchment put up 52 points in 36 games, as her team, Linköping HC Dam, made it to the SDHL finals, where they lost to Luleå HF/MSSK. The next season, she switched teams to play for HV71 and put up 64 points in 36 games, good for second in league scoring.[3][4][5] She was named a finalist for the Forward of the Year Award.[6]

Joining the Premier Hockey Federation's Connecticut Whale for the 2021-22 season, Marchment was named the league's most valuable player in her first year with the team.[7] She would rejoin the Whale for the 2022-23 season, which ended up as the PHF's last.

Marchment was drafted in the sixth round of the 2023 PWHL Draft by Montreal.[8] On March 2, 2024, PWHL Montreal announced that she had been placed on long-term injury reserve, with Mélodie Daoust called up from reserves.[9]

International[edit]

Marchment was invited to Team Canada's selection camp for the 2014 IIHF World Women's U18 Championship, but was not selected.[10]

Personal life[edit]

Marchment is the niece of former NHL player Bryan Marchment, cousin of Dallas Stars forward Mason Marchment.[11] She is in a relationship with her former Connecticut Whale teammate Allie Munroe.[8]
