“I think I’m a solid two-way defenseman. I have a good hockey I.Q., and I make good decisions both offensively and defensively,” Keenan stated. “I have good mobility for my size and skating. ” https://t.co/8FaTUal8b6 #DRWDraft #NHLDraft2023— Sarah Lindenau (@Lindy72) June 29, 2023

D Larry Keenan of Culver (Ind.) Military Academy comes from a hockey family. His grandfather, Larry, was an inaugural #Sabres season player in 1970-71 — and he talks here about Grandpa serving as Gil Perreault’s LW that year! pic.twitter.com/thImMrfllu— Mike Harrington (@ByMHarrington) June 10, 2023

Larry Keenan is particularly intriguing. Pedigree (yes he’s the grandson of the Blues legend). Great mobility and quickness. Length. This clip is a great example of how he can impact the game offensively. Strong puck mover. High upside. Headed to a great program at UMass. pic.twitter.com/g9KtAuWvA6— Brock Otten (@BrockOtten) March 26, 2023
