Playing career

Keane started his junior hockey career for the Barrie Colts of the Ontario Hockey League. [1] He played for Barrie for 2 1/2 seasons and was traded to the London Knights partway through his final junior season of 2018–19. [4] He was selected to the OHL Third All-Star Team for Barrie for the 2017–18 season. [4]

He made his professional debut for the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League (AHL) in the 2019–20 season. [1] [5] As an AHL rookie he was selected for the 2020 AHL All-Star Challenge. [6] He was called up to the Rangers on February 14, 2020 after posting 8 goals and 20 assists in 48 games with Hartford. [6] [7] He was returned to Hartford after not playing in the Rangers' game that day. [7] On February 18, 2020, Keane was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for Julien Gauthier. [8]

As a restricted free agent after his contract with the Hurricanes, Keane opted to move abroad in agreeing to a one-year contract for the 2022–23 season with Russian club HC Spartak Moscow of the KHL, on July 25, 2022. [9]

After two seasons with HC Spartak Moscow, where he scored 35 points in 102 games, Keane returned to the United States and signed a professional try-out agreement with the San Jose Sharks on September 19, 2024. [10] On September 27, 2024, Keane was assigned to the Sharks' AHL affiliate San Jose Barracuda. [11] In the 2024–25 season, Keane was unable to replicate his offensive prowess from the KHL, limited to just 38 regular season games through injury and contributing with 11 points.

As a free agent, Keane opted to return the KHL and former club Spartak Moscow, agreeing to a two-year contract on July 15, 2025. [12]
