MSU alumnus, Stanley-Cup champion Duncan Keith retiring from NHL

Former Michigan State hockey star and Stanley Cup champion with the Chicago Blackhawks, Duncan Keith is retiring from the NHL.

Duncan Keith has made the decision to retire from the NHL after a 17-year career with the Chicago Blackhawks and Edmonton Oilers. Keith is almost a surefire hall-of-famer after a long list of career accolades including being a 4-time all-star, 3-time Stanley Cup Champion, 2-time Gold Medalist, 2-time Norris Trophy winner and one-time Conn Smythe Award winner.

Keith spent the 2001-02 and 2002-03 seasons donning the green and white as a member of the Michigan State hockey program before being a second-round pick to the Chicago Blackhawks, where he played 16 of his 17 NHL seasons before rounding out his career with the Edmonton Oilers.
