Not even just the AHL but also had a solid time playing with UHL Binghamton. I always laughed when fans in Binghamton insulted the UHL. The UHL had quality players, especially at a time before the Euro leagues began poaching solid professional veteran players from North America who wanted to stay home. Keith is proof there are hockey players capable of playing at the AHL/NHL levels whom may have been overlooked and are playing DIII college hockey or lower tier juniors. Congratulations Keith on an outstanding playing career full of accomplishment, best of luck to you and your family!

Was a big part of Providence's strike year conference run, playing along side guys like Bergeron and Brad Boyes. Thanks for the memories.

Could've sworn he did already, had to check hockeydb.com:laugh:

The earliest hockey games I can remember were BC Icemen UHL games, and he was my favorite player back then. I guess that makes him my first favorite player.

Have a great retirement, Keith.
