As we, at WGN Radio, prepare to welcome the Chicago Blackhawks into the “Century Club,” we are celebrating Chicago’s Original 6 hockey organization by highlighting over 100 players, coaches, executives, broadcasters and personalities that have been a part of Blackhawks’ 100-year history. Every weekday leading up to and through the 2025-26 season, you will hear about a different all-time Blackhawks figure in both the morning and afternoon WGN Radio sports reports, and here on WGNRadio.com. Several eras of Chicago hockey will be represented in our profiles, voiced by Dave Eanet, Andy Masur, Charlie Roumeliotis, Kevin Powell and Jack Heinrich.

We previously covered Pat Stapleton. Next up:

Duncan Keith was one of the foundational pieces of the Blackhawks Stanley Cup teams. Drafted in 2002, he broke in with the Hawks 3 years late. In 2010, he won the Norris Trophy as the NHL’s top defenseman, the first Blackhawk to win it since Chris Chelios, 14 years earlier.  He would win it again in 2014. In 2015, Keith won the Conn Smythe Trophy as MVP in the Blackhawks’ 3rd run to the Cup in 6 years. Only Stan Mikita played more games as a Blackhawk than Keith, who retired in 2022 after 17 years in the NHL.
