Kenneth Edward Berry (born June 21, 1960) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey winger.

Early life

Berry was born in Burnaby, British Columbia. As a youth, he and teammate Glenn Anderson played in the 1972 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Burnaby.[1] He played major junior hockey with the New Westminster Bruins, winning the Memorial Cup in 1978. He next played with the University of Denver Pioneers, where he was selected to the All-WCHA Second Team in 1980–81.

Career

Berry played major professional hockey with the NHL's Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks, tallying 8 goals and 10 assists for 18 points in 55 games. He later played in West Germany/Germany, mostly in the second tier 2nd Eishockey-Bundesliga, with ESV Bayreuth and EC Hedos München.

Berry twice represented Canada in hockey at the Olympics, at the 1980 Winter Olympics held in Lake Placid and the 1988 Winter Olympics held in Calgary. At the 1980 Tournament, Berry scored a hat-trick in Canada's 10-1 victory over the Netherlands.

Berry retired from hockey after the 1992–93 Bundesliga season (his only season in Germany's top-level Eishockey-Bundesliga), returning to Canada to become a stockbroker. As of 2019, Berry is Chairman of Kootenay Silver Inc.[2]

Personal life

Berry is the younger brother of Doug Berry, who also played in the NHL and the Eishockey-Bundesliga.

In November 2022, Berry was elected to a four-year term as mayor of Lions Bay, British Columbia, Canada.[3]
