Former Kelowna Rockets defenceman Duncan Keith has been named a finalist for the NHL defenceman of the year.
"Obviously a huge honour. I'm pretty proud. A lot of hard work, and I can't say enough. It's a huge honour and it's great to be nominated."
Keith helped the Rockets to a Western Hockey League championship in 2003 before eventually suiting up for the Chicago Black Hawks.
"You look at other people who have been nominated and other people who have won it, it's a pretty special category and one that I am pretty proud to be apart of."
It's been a good week for Kelowna Rockets alumni now playing at the NHL level. Tyler Myers of the Buffalo Sabres was nominated Thursday for the NHL rookie of the year.
