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 at the conclusion of 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]
