Keely Brown (goaltender)

She has won five more silver medals in coaching and consulting positions for the national Canadian ringette teams in both junior and senior levels.

In the late 1990s, Brown had also helped merge women's hockey leagues from Ontario and Quebec to form Canada's now defunct NWHL.

Brown is recognized for her role in helping to develop the Keely glove, which was designed to provide better protection and grip for ringette goalies.

Brown completed a four-year undergraduate degree in psychology and criminology with a women's studies minor at the University of Toronto, after which she went on to Osgoode Hall Law School and was admitted to the Ontario Bar in 2003.

[4] Before moving to Alberta, Keely grew up playing ringette in the province of Ontario in Kitchener, Waterloo, and Sudbury.

Brown collaborated with a company called McKenney to develop a new ringette goalie trapper, known colloquially as "the Keely glove", that addressed these issues.

[7][8] The Keely glove was a significant advancement in ringette goaltending equipment, is still used by many athletes today, and has been developed for both senior and junior goalies.

[11][5] The company had a team of 25 skilled instructors who provided top-tier goalie training for ringette players all over Canada.

The company's range of services encompassed goalie camps, clinics, and ice times, which were held from British Columbia to Prince Edward Island.

The rewards were made possible by the generosity of Keely Brown, Heather Konkin, and the programme they co-founded, 5-Count Ringette Goalie Instruction.

She helped the team win a gold medal at the 2002 FIRS Inline Hockey World Championships held in Rochester, New York.
