Keith Michael Yandle (born September 9, 1986) is an American former professional ice hockey defenseman and media personality. Yandle was drafted by the Phoenix Coyotes in the fourth round, 105th overall, at the 2005 NHL entry draft. He played 1,109 games for the Arizona Coyotes, New York Rangers, Florida Panthers, and Philadelphia Flyers. After playing his junior career in the QMJHL for the Moncton Wildcats, where he was named CHL defenceman of the year, Yandle made his NHL debut in 2006 and quickly established himself as a premier offensive defenseman, leading the Coyotes in points in both the 2012–13 and 2013–14 seasons. He holds the third-longest NHL ironman streak of consecutive games played, with 989, and held the all-time record from January 2022 to October 2022; during the 2020–21 season, he became the third player ever to record 900 consecutive games played. Yandle passed Doug Jarvis's streak as the then-longest in NHL history on January 25, 2022 after playing his 965th consecutive game. After retiring, Yandle joined the popular hockey-themed podcast Spittin' Chiclets.
