RIP Red Kelly

[PenguinHunter]

Red Kelly passes away at the age of 91.

Red Kelly tops the list for the most Stanley Cup Championships by a player who never played for the Montreal Canadians.

Never got to see this guy play... but it sounds like he knew how to win!

Interesting tidbit I just learned... He won the cups with Detroit as a Defenseman and later switched to Centre when he played for the leafs.

Sad to hear about his passing but he lived an amazing life.

Another fun fact: He was an elected Member of Parliament from 1962-65! That blows my mind. He was playing in the NHL and serving in Parliament at the same time.

Tying the NHL and Parliamentary roles back together:

During the Great Canadian Flag Debate, he received opposition from Leafs owner Conn Smythe who opposed Pearson's plans to replace the Red Ensign flag with the Maple Leaf
