She also continued representing Alberta at the Canadian level in both indoor and outdoor hockey over the course of the past 17 seasons, most recently winning gold at the 2007 Senior Championships and the 2008 Indoor Senior Championships.

She is a certified Level 3 coach, and took over the reins as the Head Coach of the University of Calgary Dinos program in 2007.

In 2000, Keely retired from elite-level hockey as a player to pick up the whistle and quickly made a name for herself as one of Canada’s top umpires, being appointed to the Senior National tournament in her very first season. Her first opportunity to go abroad came shortly after and where she earned her FIH badge in 2003. She was promoted to the Promising List in 2006, placing her in the top 50 female umpires in the world.
