Former Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith has officially been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in the class of 2025, and many of his former teammates were on hand to watch, including some surprise faces that we have yet to see in quite some time.
One of the best defensemen in Chicago Blackhawks history, Duncan Keith took his rightful place in the
Hockey Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2025.
As part of the ceremony, there were multiple former teammates of Keith on hand to watch, including Kris Versteeg, Brent Seabrook, Marian Hossa, Patrick Sharp, Corey Crawford, and others.
During his acceptance speech, Keith made it a point to thank all those who believed in him along the way, which included his family, coaches, and teammates.
"But the greatest wasn't the wins or the banners, it was the people, the teammates who became brothers, coaches who believed in me, trainers who kept us healthy, family who stood behind me through the ups and downs, because that's what this game gives you, people you go to battle with, people who become like family.
That's why hockey will always be the ultimate team game. You can't chase a dream alone, and you don't lift a cup or wear a gold medal on your own."
