Jackson Keane didn香蕉视频直播檛 think he played like his father Mike Keane.
It wasn香蕉视频直播檛 until he got put into a role similar to his father, who played in nearly 1,200 NHL games with the Montreal Canadiens, Colorado Avalanche, New York Rangers, Dallas Stars, St. Louis Blues and Vancouver Canucks, collecting 881 penalty minutes to go with his three Stanley Cup rings.
After putting up 36 goals and 99 points in 103 Manitoba Junior Hockey League games with the Winnipeg Blues, Keane scored 11 goals and added 25 points in 76 U.S. Hockey League games with the Sioux City Musketeers. With the Musketeers, he played on the third and fourth line.

One thing that stands out about his father is his work ethic. Keane was known for being one of the hardest working guys on his teams. That is something the younger Keane wants to bring. Being a good teammate and doing things the right way.
Keane got to watch his father play for the Canucks and the last five years with the Manitoba Moose, which he said was pretty cool.

Keane liked how the first week of camp went, which included hitting the ice with the Anaheim junior Ducks, saying it was really high tempo.
The Vees played their first exhibition game Wednesday in West Kelowna with the Ducks, winning 6-3 at Royal LePage Place. Cassidy Bowes led the Vees with a hat-trick, while Ducks defenceman Dylan Gutierrez scored, as did Shane Allan and Matthew Byrne. Nolan Hildebrand saw action in net for the Vees.
On Friday, the Vees will play their annual Peaches Cup game at 5 p.m. at the South Okanagan Events Centre. Admission is free.
