2. Playing Career

NIHL

Kirkby started off his junior career by playing for the Streatham Redhawks in the semi professional NIHL south division. In his single season with the Hawks he notched an impressive 69 points including 21 goals from the blue line. 

SMJHL

At the conclusion of his first season he was invited to North America to enter the SMJHL draft. Coming into the draft as a relatively unknown player he was eventually drafted 42nd overall by the Anchorage Armada in their inaugural season after relocating from Prince George. He went on to record 33 points and 7 goals in 81 games for the Armada before he was traded at the deadline in his second season to the St Louis Scarecrows. Playing in a more offensive role for the Crows Kirkby racked up 4 goals and 15 points in 20 games to close out the season strongly. St Louis and Kirkby went on the the four star cup finals where they were beaten by Vancouver in five games. 

SHL

Kirkby was drafted by the West Kendall Platoon 10th overall in the 43rd SHL draft. After his second season of juniors he was deemed ready for the top league and relocated to Florida for the 44th season. Over two seasons in a strong West Kendall team Kirkby struggled to put up much offensively only scoring 5 goals and 35 points in his first 100 regular season games. However he was strong defensively and contributed to the franchise making back to back Challenge Cup Finals although they went on to lose both. His third season saw him move to the first pairing alongside stalwart Ludwid Koch Shroeder and his offensive increased somewhat putting up 5 goals and 25 points to have his best season in terms of production. West Kendall however had a poor season failing to even make a wildcard slot.
