Out of his two seasons in the NSFL, three moments stand out for Yellowknife Fullback Eric Kennedy.
The first was the 11th regular season game of Season 2, where the Philadelphia Liberty came to face the Wraiths in Yellowknife. After being a quiet contributor for most of season 2, this game was the one that put Kennedy on the map.He picked up 4 receptions for 34 yards, including a receiving touchdown. In addition, while only netting 2 rushing yards on 2 attempts, he did manage to break into the end zone for a rushing touchdown to make this a 2 touchdown game. The Wraiths went on to defeat the Liberty 35 to 14.
The next game that stood out was a preseason game, the first of the Season 3 preseason. Once again, here, they faced the Liberty at home. Kennedy worked hard to integrate himself into the passing game during offseason training and it showed as he racked 4 rushes for 23 yards and 4 receptions for 14 yards, including a receiving touchdown. On top of that, he also walked away with 6 pancakes, proving himself to still be an effective blocker even when he was making key plays for the Wraiths. The Wraiths went on to defeat the Liberty once again, but by a smaller margin, 20 to 16.
The third game that stands out is the 4th regular game of Season 3, where the Wraiths traveled to Las Vegas to face the Legion on their home turf. Kennedy only rushed 3 times for 5 yards, but he did pick up 5 receptions for 47 yards and also pulled on in the end zone for a receiving touchdown. The Wraiths were also victorious here as they defeated the Legion 26 to 20.
