Duncan Keith Retires: HOF in 2025?

A day after the 2022 Hockey Draft began, a major retirement has taken place in professional hockey with Defenseman, Duncan Keith, calling it a career.

A 17-year veteran, Keith was a Second Round Pick in 2002 by the Chicago Blackhawks, the native of Winnipeg, Manitoba would slowly become of the most complete blueline in hockey.  

Keith first made the Blackhawks in 2005, breaking out in the 2009-10 Season where he not only won the Norris Trophy, but anchored Chicago to their first Stanley Cup in decades.  A Norris winner again in 2013/14, Keith added rings to his finger in 2013 and 2015, the latter seeing him win the Conn Smythe as the NHL’s top Defenseman.

Capable of everything you want from a Defenseman, complete with rushing skills and tenacious ice protection, it can be easily stated that the Stanley Cup would not have returned to the Windy City three times in the 2010s, and though he has no received the due he should have, he was a superstar and giant of the game.  

Keith finished off his career with a season in Edmonton before retiring with 117.0 Point Shares and 646 Points.

Internationally, Keith also captured Gold for Canada in the 2010 and 2014 Olympics.

Keith will be eligible for the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2025, and has an excellent chance to enter on the first ballot.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to wish Duncan Keith the best in his post-playing career.
