Leonard Patrick "Red" Kelly {{postnominals|CM}} (July 9, 1927 – May 2, 2019) was a Canadian professional hockey player and coach. He was also a Liberal Member of Parliament for the Toronto-area riding of York West from 1962 to 1965, during which time he also won the Stanley Cup—twice—while actively playing for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Kelly played on more Stanley Cup-winning teams (eight) than any other player who never played for the Montreal Canadiens; Henri Richard (11), Jean Beliveau (10), Yvan Cournoyer (10) and Claude Provost (9) won their Cups with the Canadiens. He was also one of the only two players (the other is Terry Sawchuk) to have never played for the Canadiens and to be part of two of the nine dynasties recognized by the National Hockey League (NHL) in its history.{{cite web |url=http://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=25435 |title=Stanley Cup Dynasties |publisher=National Hockey League |access-date=July 20, 2009}} In 2017, Kelly was named one of the '100 Greatest NHL Players' in history.{{cite web|title=100 Greatest NHL Players|url=https://www.nhl.com/fans/nhl-centennial/100-greatest-nhl-players|website=NHL.com|access-date=January 1, 2017|date=January 1, 2017}}
Early career
Kelly attended Doan's Hollow Public School in Port Dover, then attended St. Michael's College School.{{cite book |last=Duhatschek |first=Eric |title=Hockey Chronicles |year=2001 |publisher=Checkmark Books |location=New York City |isbn=0-8160-4697-2 |display-authors=etal |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/hockeychronicles00tren }} He grew up listening to Foster Hewitt's broadcasts of the Toronto Maple Leafs, and was particularly inspired by the style of their hard-charging defenceman, Red Horner. However, while playing junior hockey for the St. Michael's Majors, he was encouraged to refine his style by his coach, former Leaf great Joe Primeau.
NHL career
The Maple Leafs passed on Kelly after a scout predicted he would not last 20 games in the NHL (despite the Majors' long relationship with the Leafs) and the 19-year-old joined the Detroit Red Wings in 1947. In 1954 he was runner-up for the Hart Memorial Trophy and won the James Norris Memorial Trophy as the NHL's top defenceman, the first time the trophy was awarded and also won the Lady Byng Trophy in 1951, 1953 and 1954 as the NHL's most gentlemanly player. In over 12 years as a Red Wing, the team won eight regular-season championships and four Stanley Cups. He was chosen as a First Team All-Star defenceman six times.
Kelly played much of the 1958–59 season with a broken ankle. However, this was a closely guarded team secret until midway through the next season, a reporter asked Kelly why he had been off his game for much of 1959. Kelly replied, "Don't know. Might have been the ankle." When Red Wings GM Jack Adams got wind of the story, he was furious, and immediately brokered a four-player deal in which Kelly was sent to the New York Rangers. However, Kelly scuttled the deal when he announced he would retire rather than go to New York.
Maple Leafs head coach and general manager Punch Imlach stepped in and tried to talk Kelly into playing for him. Though he disliked Maple Leaf Gardens and was still smarting from the scout's assessment of him 13 years earlier, Kelly agreed to be traded to the Leafs. Once Kelly arrived in Toronto, Imlach asked him to switch positions and become a full-time centre, figuring that Kelly could easily match up against the Montreal Canadiens' Jean Béliveau. The switch proved to be a success, as, already a great playmaker, Kelly turned Frank Mahovlich into one of the most lethal goal scorers in NHL history.{{cite web |title=One on One with Red Kelly |url=https://www.hhof.com/htmlSpotlight/spot_oneononep196903.shtml |website=Legends of Hockey |publisher=Hockey Hall of Fame |access-date=June 21, 2018}}
Kelly won his fourth Lady Byng Award in 1961. In his eight seasons with the Leafs, they won four Stanley Cups–the same number of times he had won in Detroit. In 1,316 regular season games, he scored 281 goals and 542 assists for 823 points. At the time of his retirement, Kelly was seventh all time in career points, fifth in assists, 13th in goals, and second only to Gordie Howe in games played. In 164 playoff games, he scored 33 goals and 59 assists for 92 points.
Coaching career
After the Maple Leafs won the Stanley Cup in 1967, Kelly announced his retirement as a player, and negotiated with the expansion Los Angeles Kings to be their inaugural coach on the strength of Imlach's assertion that Toronto would not stand in the way of Kelly's coaching career. Imlach insisted, however, that Los Angeles draft Kelly in the expansion draft,{{cite news

He left the Kings for a one-year contract to succeed Red Sullivan as coach of the Pittsburgh Penguins on July 2, 1969.[https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=888&dat=19690703&id=SjdkAAAAIBAJ&sjid=z3sDAAAAIBAJ&pg=7130,1589262&hl=en "Penguins Hire Red Kelly," St. Petersburg (FL) Times, Thursday, 3 July 1969.] After the Penguins ended the 1969–70 season with its first-ever playoff appearance and advanced to the semifinals, Kelly signed a five-year, $250,000 contract on May 21, 1970, to continue as coach, and also replaced Jack Riley as general manager.[https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2706&dat=19700522&id=IwxbAAAAIBAJ&sjid=Nk4NAAAAIBAJ&pg=2616,482560&hl=en "Red Kelly named coach and G.M. for Pittsburgh," The Associated Press, Friday, 22 May 1970.][https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1798&dat=19730116&id=lh8fAAAAIBAJ&sjid=J40EAAAAIBAJ&pg=3189,3211303&hl=en "'Second Guessing Plague Of Coaching' Red Kelly," United Press International, Tuesday, 16 January 1973.] With the team struggling in sixth place in the NHL West Division during a stretch of winning only two of 22 contests and having failed to qualify for the postseason in 1970–71, Kelly was pressured to relinquish his general manager title back to Riley on January 29, 1972, in order to concentrate on his coaching duties.[https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1454&dat=19720130&id=9LosAAAAIBAJ&sjid=vgkEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5909,5120694&hl=en "Kelly resigns from Penguins," United Press International, Sunday, 30 January 1972.] Amid a slump in which the Penguins won only two games with three draws and seven losses and slid into fifth place in the eight-team NHL West Division, Kelly was fired and replaced by Ken Schinkel on January 13, 1973.[http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1973/01/14/page/77/article/penguins-fire-kelly-and-hire-schinkel "Penguins fired Kelly and hire Schinkel," The Associated Press, Sunday, 14 January 1973.]
Kelly returned to the Maple Leafs after signing a four-year contract to succeed John McLellan as coach on August 20, 1973.[https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1346&dat=19730821&id=xJVMAAAAIBAJ&sjid=avoDAAAAIBAJ&pg=2711,5311413&hl=en "Maple Leafs Sign Kelly As Coach," The Associated Press, Tuesday, 21 August 1973.] He stayed in the position from the 1973–74 season to 1976–77. The team earned a playoff berth in all four seasons with Kelly as head coach but got eliminated in the quarterfinals each time. A bizarre aspect of his tenure as Maple Leafs coach occurred during the 1975–76 quarterfinal series when he promoted pyramid power amongst his players to counter the Philadelphia Flyers' use of Kate Smith's rendition of "God Bless America." He hung a plastic model of a pyramid in the team's clubhouse after a pair of away defeats to start the series. The players embraced the superstition after observing team captain Darryl Sittler first place his hockey sticks beneath the pyramid and then stand under it for exactly four minutes. The Maple Leafs managed to win all three of its home matches before losing the series' decisive Game 7.[https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=888&dat=19760424&id=VHJIAAAAIBAJ&sjid=S10DAAAAIBAJ&pg=6601,211598&hl=en "Leafs employ 'pyramid power,'" The Associated Press, Saturday, 24 April 1976.] Kelly was fired at the end of the 1976–1977 season, ending 30 consecutive years at ice level in the NHL. Kelly coached 742 regular season games during his NHL career of which his team won 278, lost 300 and tied 134. He coached 62 NHL playoff games winning 24 of these.{{cite book | title=The Sports Hall of Fame Encyclopedia | publisher=Scarecrow Press | year=2011 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=a7CnkH2HIsQC&pg=PA528 | page=528 | isbn=9781461673705 | access-date=March 8, 2015 }}
