Keenan won a Stanley Cup championship as coach of the New York Rangers in 1994. He also won the KHL Championship while coaching Metallurg Magnitogorsk in 2014.
Coaching career
NHL career
His first coaching job was at Forest Hill Collegiate Institute in Toronto, Ontario, where he coached the varsity hockey team. In 1977 he became the coach of the Oshawa Legionaires of the Metro Junior B Hockey League, where he led them to back-to-back championships in 1979 and 1980. The following year he began his junior coaching career with the Peterborough Petes before moving on to the Rochester Americans, which he guided to the American Hockey League championship in 1983. He returned to University of Toronto to lead it to the CIAU title. He then landed his first high-profile job with the Philadelphia Flyers in 1984, then the Chicago Blackhawks in 1988. In 1993, he took the job as New York Rangers head coach, and led the franchise to its first Stanley Cup win since 1940. Prior to the 1993 season, he was also a candidate for the Detroit Red Wings head coaching job that eventually went to Scotty Bowman.
"Chris is a tough, physical and competitive player who adds further depth at our forward position. He is another veteran player whose leadership and experience will be counted on as we continue to reshape our franchise."
"He adds depth to our club's already competitive blue line and we look forward to him competing for a roster spot during training camp."
"He is a proven playmaker who has the ability to play at both ends of the ice. This acquisition gives us flexibility in our lineup as he can play center or on the wing, as well as on our special teams."
"He knows what it takes to win and has the experience to help guide our younger players and accelerate the growth of our team."
"I said I feel you still have things to prove to the players, the fans and to yourself. He's not quite there yet."
"I said the same thing to Roberto."
"Like Nieuwendyk and Roberts, Marty brings with him proven leadership and skills as well as a history of playoff success. He knows what it takes to win and has the experience to help guide our younger players and accelerate the growth of our team."
"These two players are consummate professionals and will basically teach our younger players. First of all, how to be a professional in many respects — and how to win."
"We felt we made a good offer and we will continue that process after Jan. 1."
"We now have a quality affiliate to send our younger prospects that is located just 90 minutes away, giving our hockey operations staff the chance to frequently watch these players develop."
Mentioning that name will already give you a divisive opinion on the man, depending on where your fan interests reside. If it's a place like New York or Russia, he is almost deified. Move to St. Louis or Vancouver, however, and you will be hearing relentless vitriol. The builder and the destroyer all in one, a man with one of the shortest shelf life's of any coach in professional sports. However, he's really damn good for those first few years on a team.
After that, it gets ugly. Very, very ugly. See for yourself the relentless power struggles and borderline devious behavior that highlighted Keenan's stops throughout the world. There are highs and lows, and that's what makes him fascinating.
I just hope I did his career justice.

Keenan vs Linden 1997-98
Keenan came into Vancouver, and as usual, targeted the fan favorite (Savard and Hull prior). When Keenan returned for a game in St. Louis, the Canucks were getting embarrassed after 2 periods. Linden was benched but was encouraging the grinders who were getting his ice, and Keenan ripped into him saying something along the lines of "shut the f** up, just shut the f** up, sit down, who are you? What the f** have you ever done?". Messier was silent, and never came to his defence. Reporters heard the events from outside the dressing room door, and no one within the Canucks disputed the account.
