Evan McEneny (born May 22, 1994) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey defenceman. He most recently played for the Laval Rocket in the American Hockey League (AHL). Undrafted, he formerly played with the Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Playing career
McEneny went undrafted in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft after playing only two games for the Kitchener Rangers of the Ontario Hockey League due to a torn ACL suffered in the second game of the season which caused him to miss the remaining games. He later signed with the Vancouver Canucks on September 13, 2012, as an undrafted free agent.{{cite web|url=https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/vancouver-canucks-sign-defenceman-evan-mceneny/c-641290|title=Vancouver Canucks sign defenceman Evan McEneny|publisher=Vancouver Canucks|date=2012-09-13|accessdate=2017-02-24}} On November 20, 2013, McEneny was traded by the Rangers to the Kingston Frontenacs.{{cite web|url=http://kingstonfrontenacs.com/fronts-trade-diperna-to-kitchener-for-mceneny|title=Fronts trade Diperna to Kitchener for McEneny|publisher=Kingston Frontenacs|date=2013-11-20|accessdate=2017-02-24}}
McEneny spent most of the 2015–16 season, his first professional season, playing with the Kalamazoo Wings of the ECHL. The following season, he was assigned to start the season with the Utica Comets of the AHL.{{cite web|url=https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/roster-reduced/c-282214672|title=Canucks Reduce Pre-Season Roster|publisher=Vancouver Canucks|date=2016-09-28|accessdate=2017-02-24}} On February 24, 2017, McEneny was recalled to the NHL for the first time by the Canucks.{{cite news|url=https://theprovince.com/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/canucks-recall-grenier-and-mceneny|title=Canucks recall Grenier and McEneny|newspaper=The Province|date=2017-02-24|accessdate=2017-02-24}} He made his NHL debut the following night against the San Jose Sharks as the Canucks were defeated 4–1.{{cite web|url=https://vancouversun.com/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/sharks-4-canucks-1-vancouver-hits-a-big-mumps-in-the-road|title=Sharks 4, Canucks 1: Vancouver hits a big mumps in the road|work=Jason Botchford|date=2017-02-25|accessdate=2017-02-27}}
As an unsigned free agent from the Canucks, McEneny sat out the opening months of the 2019–20 season recovering from a knee injury.
