Keith Named to Olympic Team

Former Fort Frances native Duncan Keith is headed to the Olympics.

Keith, who played part of his minor hockey career in the Fort, was among 23 players named to Canada's men's hockey team at a ceremony in Saskatoon.

Executive Director Steve Yzerman says Keith's selection was an important part of the defensive corp.

This will be Keith's second appearance in International hockey competition, having suited up for Canada at the 2008 World Hockey Championships.

Others from northwestern Ontario selected include Dryden's Chris Pronger who will serve as an assitant captain, Kenora's Mike Richards and Eric Staal of Thunder Bay.
