Kennedy was praised throughout for his incredible work ethic and his tenacious style of play. Nobody could ever question the determination of the career Maple Leaf and some have called him the most important player in that franchise’s history. Kennedy won the Hart Trophy in his last full season (though he was not named to any of the Post Season All Star Team that year) which may have been more of a celebration of his overall career. Regardless, Kennedy belongs in the Hockey Hall of Fame, as does his banner that hangs in the Air Canada Centre in Toronto.
