Kelly was a major part of four Stanley Cup championships with Detroit -- 1950, 1952, 1954, 1955. Then he helped the Leafs win the Stanley Cup four times -- 1962, 1963, 1964, 1967. He is the only player to win the Cup eight times without playing for the Montreal Canadiens.
Overall, Kelly amassed 823 points in 1,316 NHL games played. Perhaps even more impressive were his playoff numbers -- 92 points in 164 games.
The Red Wings retired Kelly's No. 4 earlier this year during a game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. It is the 8th official jersey number to be retired by the Red Wings.
