Kearny became the first female scout in Oilers history, breaking the gender barrier for the organization. The NHL of course is a league that has been dominated by men on and off the ice since its inception.

Kearny played two years of NCAA hockey for Northeastern University and is a cofounder of the National Women's Hockey League player (NWHL). She will now look to make an impact for an NHL club.
