A star with St Michael's College junior teams, Red Kelly joined the Detroit Red Wings in 1947 and played on defense for the next twelve seasons.
Kelly came to the Leafs in a trade in 1960 and played seven more seasons retiring in 1967 after Toronto had won it's last Stanley Cup.
Upon coming to Toronto, Punch Imlach used Kelly as a centerman which proved to be a great move. He played on a line with Frank Mahovlich and assisted him when he scored forty-eight goals in the 1960-61 season. He played in a record nineteen Stanley Cup playoff series and was on eight Stanley Cup Teams, as well as being selected to eight All-Star teams, six of which he was selected to the First Team All-Stars. During his career Red Kelly played in 1,316 games and scored 281 goals and had 542 assists for a career total of 823 points. During his play-off appearances he scored 33 goals and had 59 assists for a total of 92 points.

As of May 02, 1997 as noted in the Toronto Star "Where are they now ... the 1966-67 Maple Leafs", Red Kelly owns an international aircraft maintenance company.
