NHL, the National Hockey League is a premier professional North American Sports League played in indoor stadiums. It’s divided into two conferences, each comprising of three divisions of ice hockey teams.
Keith Carney was born February 3, 1970 in Providence, Rhode Island. He is a professional ice hockey defenseman currently playing for the Minnesota Wild of the National Hockey League.

He was drafted 76th overall out of high school by the Buffalo Sabres in the 1988 NHL Entry Draft. Carney starred at the University of Maine for three years during which time he made various All-Star teams for his fine play. He joined the Sabres in 1991 after spending much of the year with the U.S. National team, but he played only parts of three seasons with the organization before being traded to Chicago. With the Hawks, Carney matured and developed into a solid defenseman and during his four full seasons. But the team never advanced very far, and late in the 1997-1998 seasons he was traded to the Phoenix Coyotes. He had represented the USA at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan.
After four seasons in Phoenix, Carney was dealt to the Anaheim Mighty Ducks in 2001-2002 and was a valuable asset on the Ducks blueline, helping the club reaches the Stanley Cup final in 2003 against the eventual Cup champions from New Jersey. Carney went on to play parts of four seasons with the Ducks before being acquired by the Vancouver Canucks at the 2006 NHL trading deadline. He received awards namely Hockey East Second All-Star Team in 1990, NCAA, the National Collegiate Athletic Association East Second All-American Team in 1990, Hockey East First All-Star Team in 1991 and NCAA East First All-American Team in 1991.
