Born in Saulte Ste. Marie, Ontario, Kevin came over to the United Kingdom in 1985 to play for the Ayr Bruins at Likekiln Road and became a scoring sensation for the Bruins. Kevin must have told Keith Gretzky (Wayne Gretzkys' brother) how good (cough) Limekiln Road was as he came over to play there in 1989 for Ayr Raiders.

Wherever Kevin went it seemed that he could score goals for fun. His best scoring season being in 1987-88 when he scored 148 goals and 104 assists for Telford Tigers, wracking up 252 points in only 29 games. He also accrued 106 penalty minutes that season, he's calmed down a lot now then !!! In 1991-92 he went to Basingstoke where he would stay for seven years, four with the Beavers and then three with the Bison.  In 1996-97 Basingstoke Bison joined the Superleague and Kevin played with them in their first two seasons before there before he joined fellow Superleague side Newcastle Riverkings for the 19998-99 season.

In his career Kevin has been capped 58 times for Great Britain and has been inducted to the Hall of Fame. Basingstoke Bison retired his number 10 shirt in 2004-05 as their all time leading scorer and Kevin has other league winning achievements too numerous to mention here.

Solway Sharks coach Kevin Doherty persuaded Kevin to come out of retirement to play in the Scottish National League and the Northern League during the 2006-07 season and we are all delighted that he is to rejoin the club for the 2007-08 season.

From the start of the 2006-07 season his tem mates have been saying that it's like having an extra man on the ice when Kevin's on. In the match programmes at away games it's frequently written how much they enjoy watching him play. As everyone knows, one man doesn't make a team, but there's no doubt that the players have learned a lot from playing beside him and have benefited from the calming influence and experience that he brings to the team.
