So far during the 2017-18 season, Ness has recorded 12 points (4 goals, 8 assists) in 13 NAPHL games.
Last seasn, Ness played for the Bismarck Bobcats in the NAHL. In 39 games played, he recorded five points.

The Rocky Mountain RoughRiders would like to wish Kevin the best of luck in his hockey and academic future.
A tender is a contract, of sorts, a player signs announcing his intentions to play for that particular NAHL team and that NAHL team only. Once a player signs a tender with an NAHL team, his playing rights belong to that team within the NAHL and he may not be recruited by any other NAHL team. Each team is granted ten (10) tenders, which include two (2) tenders exclusively used on players from the NAPHL - plus or minus any trades - which became active on Nov. 1. Tendered players are not eligible for the NAHL draft, which will be held on June 5, 2018.
