Coaching and Sports Management Background

Keith circled back to the NHL in 2008 when he joined the Detroit Red Wings pro team as an assistant coach for their video coaching division.  Here, he was responsible for capturing video during practices and competition.  The video collected was used to conduct in-depth player reviews and reports, helping individual players hone their skills on the ice.  On-ice, he also got the opportunity for one-on-one skill development with players on the Red Wings team.

After more than six years of coaching the Red Wings, Keith transitioned to the Portland Winterhawks Hockey Club in Portland, Oregon. The club, comprised of junior players preparing for roles in professional teams, is one of the members of the Western Hockey League. He was able to work directly with players during on-ice practices, again helping them to develop critical skills that made them better players.  He also had a hand in scouting and recruitment for the Club’s further development. In 2016, he joined Gold Star Sports Management.
