Esa Juhani Keskinen (born February 3, 1965 in Ylöjärvi, Finland) is a retired Finnish professional ice hockey forward.

Playing career

Keskinen was drafted by the Calgary Flames as their fifth-round pick, 101st overall, in the 1985 NHL Entry Draft, but never played in the NHL anytime in his active playing career.[1] During season 1995-96 Keskinen formed with his fellow Finn Kai Nurminen a proficient goal-scoring duo when they played for HV71 in the Swedish Elitserien. During his years in HV71 he was a popular player among the fans and drew by himself large crowds to the club's, at the time, arena Rosenlundshallen.[2]

Keskinen recorded 658 points (215 goals, 443 assists) and 130 penalty minutes in 478 games in SM-liiga playing for TPS and Lukko. In Elitserien he totalled 203 games with 209 points (61 goals, 148 assists) and 148 penalty minutes playing for HV71. He has been noted for most points in SM-liiga in seasons 1987-88 (69 points), 1992–93 (59 points) and 1993-94 (70 points).[1]
