The Dragons just might have the next twin NHL superstar duo in the making after signing forward and defenceman Nate and Clay Keeley for the upcoming season.
Nate and Clay, of Nanton, AB, both played for the Midget AAA Lethbridge Hurricanes last year, with Nate tallying three goals and 13 assists in 34 games with the Canes, with defenceman Clay posting 2 assists.
The twins hard work ethic and dedication was what caught the eye of the Dragons’ scouts, and while the boys have small frames, both standing at 5’9” and 150 lbs., their dedication and farming background was enough to earn themselves a spot in the club.
“When I was talking to the our scouts I wanted them to find players that work hard and give everything they have,” said coach Brian Curran. “Both Clay and Nate fit that role and I can’t speak highly enough of their character.”
Both Clay and Nate are just as high on the Dragons’ work ethic.
“They are a team that works hard every day, practice or game,” they said. “They want to improve on- and off-ice performances and they present a winning environment.”
