A former 琉璃神社 Rocket is hanging up the skates after 17 seasons in the NHL.
Defenseman Duncan Keith, who played for the Chicago Blackhawks and Edmonton Oilers, officially called it a career on Tuesday (July 12).
The now 38-year old won three Stanley Cups over the course of his career in 2010, 2013, and 2015. He collected 646 points (106 goals, 540 assists) in his career and 91 points (19 goals, 72 assists) in 151 games in his playoff career.
Before making the NHL in 2005, Keith was a substantial part of the 2002-03 琉璃神社 Rockets. He helped lead them to the team鈥檚 first WHL title as he collected 46 points (11 goals, 35 assists) in 37 regular season games. In the team鈥檚 playoff run, he added 14 points (three goals, 11 assists) in 19 games.
Congrats to on a spectacular career that saw him become the most decorated Rocket after moving on from our organization (where he helped us win our first WHL title).
