Chicago Blackhawks (2005–2021)

Keith was selected by the Chicago Blackhawks in the second round, 54th overall, of the 2002 NHL Entry Draft. He signed with Chicago prior to the
2003–04 season and spent his first two seasons after junior in the American Hockey League (AHL) with the team affiliate Norfolk Admirals. He
recorded seven goals and 25 points over 75 games in his professional rookie season in 2003–04. Keith's chances of earning a spot with the
Blackhawks the following season were eliminated due to the 2004–05 NHL lock-out. Remaining with the Admirals, he continued his pace with 26
points in 79 games.

Following two seasons in the AHL, Keith made the Blackhawks squad out of the 2005 training camp. He played in his first NHL game on October
5, 2005, against the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. He made an immediate impact on the club, scoring nine goals and 12 assists for 21 points, while
averaging over 23 minutes of ice time in 81 games during his 2005–06 NHL rookie season. The Blackhawks re-signed him in the off-season to a
four-year contract extension.

In 2006–07, he played in all 82 games for the Blackhawks and once again led the team in average ice time at 23 minutes. He had two goals and 29
assists for 31 points while leading the team in blocked shots with 148.

For the 2007–08 season, Keith saw even more ice time as injuries wracked the Blackhawks' defensive corps. He began the season on the top-
defensive pairing with Brent Seabrook.[7] By mid-January, he was averaging 24:31 minutes of ice time and had a team leading plus-minus of +14.
He was rewarded for this effort by a selection to his first NHL All-Star Game in 2008. Keith went on to finish the season with 12 goals and 20
assists for 32 points, along with a +30 plus-minus rating, despite being on a non-playoff team.

On October 8, 2008, Keith was named an alternate captain along with forward Patrick Sharp to the start the 2008–09 season.[8] He helped a
rejuvenated Blackhawks team, led by second-year forwards Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane, back into the Stanley Cup playoffs, recording 8
goals and 44 points, second among team defencemen to Brian Campbell. He added 6 points in 17 playoff games as the Blackhawks advanced to the
Western Conference Finals, where they were eliminated by Central Division rivals, the defending Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings.

With Keith having established himself with Seabrook as one of the top shutdown pairings in the league, he made
significant offensive improvement in 2009–10.[9] On December 3, 2009, the Blackhawks announced having
extended Keith's contract simultaneously with Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane. At $72 million over 13 years,
Keith's contract was the most lucrative in team history, surpassing Marián Hossa's 12-year, $62.8 million contract
signed several months prior in July 2009.[10] He completed the season with 14 goals and 55 assists for 69 points in
all 82 contests, ranked second among league defencemen behind Mike Green of the Washington Capitals.[11] It was
also the highest total for a Blackhawks defenceman since Chris Chelios' 72-point season in 1995–96.[11] His 26:35
minutes of average ice time was the second highest in the league.[11] Entering the 2010 playoffs as the second seed
in the Western Conference, the Blackhawks eliminated the Nashville Predators, Vancouver Canucks and San Jose
Sharks in the first three rounds. During Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals against the Sharks on May 23,
2010, Keith had seven teeth knocked out by a puck on a clearing attempt by Sharks' forward Patrick Marleau. He
Keith with the Blackhawks returned minutes after the incident to help the Blackhawks complete a four-game sweep of the Sharks and advance
in February 2011. He was
to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1992. Matched against the Philadelphia Flyers, they won the
appointed as an alternate
captain in October 2008,
Stanley Cup in six games for the Blackhawks first Stanley Cup championship since 1961. Keith finished the post-
and had held that position season with 17 points (two goals and 15 assists) over all 22 contests. Nominated for the James Norris Memorial
with the team until being Trophy for his regular season performance, he outvoted Mike Green and Drew Doughty of the Los Angeles Kings to
traded in July 2021. earn the award as the NHL's best defenceman in the off-season.[11]

In the 2010–11 season, Chicago barely qualified for the 2011 playoffs as the eighth and final seed in the West just
two points ahead of the Dallas Stars. Keith's individual production decreased to seven goals and 38 assists 45 points over all 82 games for a second
straight season. Facing the Presidents' Trophy-winning Vancouver Canucks in the first round of the playoffs, the defending Stanley Cup champion
Blackhawks were eliminated in seven games. Keith recorded four goals and two assists in all seven games during the series.

On March 23, 2012, Keith was suspended five games for delivering an elbow to the head of Vancouver Canucks forward Daniel Sedin. Head of the
Department of Player Safety Brendan Shanahan observed that the hit was "dangerous, reckless, and caused injury" in his video release.[12]

On June 4, 2013, Keith received a one-game suspension for a slash to the face of Los Angeles Kings'
forward Jeff Carter during Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals. The league, in announcing the
suspension, referred to the slash as "a one handed upward swing" which struck Carter directly in the face
causing a laceration which required 20 stitches to close.[13] After defeating the defending Stanley Cup
champion Kings in five games in the Western Conference Finals, Keith and the Blackhawks defeated the
Boston Bruins in six games in the Stanley Cup Finals and Keith assisted on the late game tying goal by
Bryan Bickell in game six before Dave Bolland scored the series clinching goal moments later.

In the following season, Keith tallied six goals and 55 assists while maintaining a +22 plus-minus rating over
Keith with the Conn Smythe Trophy
79 games. He was with gold-medallist Team Canada at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.[14] Keith recorded
in June 2015.
four goals and seven assists in the 2014 playoffs, but lost to Los Angeles Kings in the Western Conference
Finals, the eventual champions. After the season's conclusion, Keith was awarded his second Norris Trophy
as the NHL's top defenceman.[15]
On June 15, 2015, Keith won his third Stanley Cup with the Blackhawks. His 2015 playoffs performance resulted in the Conn Smythe Trophy for
playoffs MVP, after scoring the winning goal on Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Ben Bishop.[16] He joins Henrik Zetterberg in having achieved
scoring the Cup-winning goal and receiving the Conn Smythe Trophy in the same year in 2008.

On March 29, 2016, Keith was checked to the ice by Minnesota Wild forward Charlie Coyle and retaliated with his stick—Coyle required medical
attention having blood dripping from his nose. Keith was given a match penalty for intent to injure. A review would lead to his suspension from the
last five games of the regular season and the first game of the 2016 playoffs – causing Keith to forfeit $148,883.35 in salary under the terms of the
NHL collective bargaining agreement.[17][18]

On December 11, 2018, Keith and teammate Brent Seabrook became the first pair of defencemen, and the seventh duo in NHL history, to play
1,000 games together.[19][20][21]

Edmonton Oilers (2021–2022)

In late-June 2021, it was reported that Keith had requested a trade from the Blackhawks to Western Canada or the Pacific Northwest of the United
States to be closer to his family (who live in Penticton, British Columbia) as he finished out his career.[22] On July 12, Keith's sixteen season run
with the Blackhawks came to an end when he, along with Tim Söderlund, were traded to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for Caleb Jones and a
conditional third-round pick in 2022.[23] Keith left the Chicago organisation holding numerous distinctions, including the second most games
played in team uniform, second most points by a blueliner (behind only Doug Wilson) and having led the team in ice time for every season he
played.[22] Oilers general manager Ken Holland's decision to trade for Keith was controversial, with many faulting the decision to agree to the trade
without Chicago retaining any portion of Keith's salary against the salary cap.[24][25][26] At the time of the trade, a number of analytical models
rated Keith as one of the worst defencemen in the NHL.[27]

Despite the controversy, Keith was generally regarded as having performed solidly in his debut season in Edmonton, recording one goal and 20
assists for 21 points in 64 games played, largely on the second pair.[28] He spent much of the second half of the season partnered with Evan
Bouchard, who credited him as a valuable mentor.[29] The Oilers finished the season second in the Pacific Division, advancing into the 2022
playoffs. The team defeated the Los Angeles Kings and the Calgary Flames in the first two rounds, meeting the top seeded and eventual Stanley
Cup Champion Colorado Avalanche in the Western Conference Finals before being defeated in a four game sweep.[30]

Following the end of the season, the Oilers reportedly asked Keith to clarify by July 1, 2022 whether he intended to play another season or retire.[31]
Keith officially announced his retirement on July 12.[32]

Post-playing career
The Edmonton Oilers hired Keith as a player development consultant on October 14, 2022.[33]

International play
Keith debuted internationally for Canada at the 2008 IIHF World Championship. He contributed
two assists in nine games as Canada won a silver medal, losing in the gold medal game to Russia.

On December 30, 2009, Keith was selected to play for Canada at the 2010 Winter Olympics in
Vancouver. He was named to the squad along with Blackhawks teammates Brent Seabrook and
Jonathan Toews.[34] Although Keith was expected to retain Seabrook as his defensive partner
from the NHL to Canada, Seabrook ended up as the designated seventh defenceman while Keith
formed a pairing with Drew Doughty.[35] Keith finished the tournament with six assists, leading
Canada in ice time,[36] as Canada won the gold medal over the United States 3–2 in overtime on
February 28, 2010.[37] It was Keith's first international gold medal.

Keith also played on Canada's gold medal-winning team at the Ice hockey at the 2014 Winter Keith playing for Team Canada in 2012
