Thank You

It’s hard to put into words how much the Blackhawks and the city of Chicago have meant to me. From the day I was first drafted to the Hawks, in 2002, I just wanted to make the team.

As the years rolled on, the goals became bigger and bigger. I’m grateful for the past 16 seasons to have worn the Blackhawk jersey. I was fortunate to play with many amazing teammates that became like brothers to me. I will always cherish the memories we had as a team, the highs and the lows. It’s been an incredible run. I’m sad it’s come to an end but being closer to my son Colton and my family is exciting. Chicago and the Blackhawks organization will always hold a special place in my heart.

Thank you to the Wirtz family for the opportunity of a lifetime. Thank you to Stan Bowman and the rest of the management team and front office for believing in me. Thank you to all my coaches I had the privilege of playing for and learning from over the years. Thank you to my amazing teammates for the memories, friendships and always pushing me to be at my best. Thank you to Troy and Jimmy and all the equipment trainers for putting up with me and keeping my skates just the way I like them. Thank you to the medical team led by Mike Gapski and Dr. Terry for keeping me healthy over the years.

Lastly, Thank you to the Blackhawk fans and people of Chicago for your unwavering support of myself and the team. I look forward to continuing to grow my charity Keith Relief in Chicago and helping families in and around the city.
