As a note, Kevin McKenna has most likely retired from club competition. Knee injuries apparently catching up to him. Missing a penalty (video below) in his last game.

Cottbus, then Hearts, then back to Cologne (along with a 6 hour speculation that he was signing with Man United).

From what I gather, he was never contacted by the CSA/CMNT after WC qaulifying last year, so was left off the roster simply by being ignored. It's the way that program has been run the better part of the last decade and a half. Captained the team, 62 caps, 11 goals.

Anyways, fantastic career and represented the city, province and country well. Another player from Thomas Niendorf back when, and, like Owen Hargreaves, not on the (pathetic) National Team program radar until making it in Germany, because he wasn't from Ontario/Quebec or BC.

Know the family and played with and against his brothers. From what I gather he's staying in German for now with his family, so all the best to him.
