Jack Stockfish and Larry Keenan were part of the first U.S. College team to participate in the high-profile European hockey tournament.

North Bay’s Jack Stockfish and Barrie’s Larry Keenan are coming home with silver medals from the highly coveted Spengler Cup hockey tournament, which took place in Davos, Switzerland, over the holidays. 

Stockfish and Keenan were selected to play on the U.S. College Selects squad, which made its debut in the holiday tourney.  

The U.S. College Selects made it to the tournament final, but were defeated by Swiss host HC Davos 6-3 in the final match on New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2025.

This marked the first time in the tournament’s 102-year history that a team composed entirely of NCAA Division I college hockey players participated in the event, and their second-place finish was considered an impressive result for the team, which included six Canadians. 

Hockey Canada, which sends an all-star squad of its own annually, fell short in the quarterfinals to a team from Prague.

The 23-year-old former North Bay Trapper, who plays NCAA D I hockey for the College of Holy Cross Crusaders, was the first player added to the team from an Atlantic Hockey America (AHA) program.

The North Bay native is AHA’s fourth-leading scorer this season with 11 points (7G-4A) in his first 13 games.

The 6-foot-4, 225-pound forward’s best campaign was 2024-25, when he set new career highs in games played (36), goals (15), points (27), and game-winning goals (4).

The three-time AHA weekly award honouree was named the conference’s Rookie of the Month in October 2023 and was named to the AHA’s All-Rookie team after he registered 25 points (9G-16A) in 32 games.

The USCS Selects other North Bay connection is 2005 birth-year defenseman Larry Keenan, who plays hockey at the University of Massachusetts and is a draft pick of the Detroit Red Wings. 

Keenan is the grandson of former NHLer and longtime Trappers coach Larry Keenan. He is the son of Cory Keenan.Â
