On December 30, 2009, Keith was selected to play for Team Canada at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. He was named to the squad along with Blackhawks teammates Brent Seabrook and Jonathan Toews. Although Keith was expected to retain Seabrook as his defensive partner from the NHL to Team Canada, Seabrook ended up as the designated seventh defenceman, while Keith formed a pairing with Drew Doughty of the Los Angeles Kings. He finished the tournament with six assists, while leading Canada in ice time, as Canada won the gold medal over the United States 3-2 in overtime on February 28, 2010. It was Keith's first international gold medal.
