While with the Revolution, Heaney recorded the first clean sheet in club history, on April 20, 1996, in the team's first-ever win, a 1-0 victory over the MetroStars.[3]
Heaney was given a red card in the third minute of a match against the Colorado Rapids on 25 May 1996. This stood as the MLS record for fastest ejection from a match for almost thirteen years, until Carlos Johnson established the new mark after being expelled two minutes into a New York Red Bulls 1–0 loss to the Kansas City Wizards at CommunityAmerica Ballpark on 23 April 2009.[4]
