Origin
and identity
Duncan Keith's blue-line work became inseparable from Chicago's three Stanley Cup victories between 2010 and 2015.
Chicago selected Keith 54th in 2002. His NHL debut season came in 2005–06, and the record grew toward a major 2009–10 breakthrough: 69 regular-season points, the Norris Trophy and a Stanley Cup. The combination linked his individual development with a team's arrival at championship level.
Keith won another Norris in 2014 and received the Conn Smythe Trophy during Chicago's 2015 title run. He recorded 21 points in those playoffs, with 18 assists. The completed career numbers are substantial, but the concentration of major honors around three championships gives his story its strongest shape.
