Playing career[]

Kelly was drafted by the Kitchener Rangers in the third round of the 2005 Ontario Hockey League draft.[1] He was named captain midway through the 2008-09 season.[2]

On May 19, 2010, Kelly was signed by the New Jersey Devils as a free agent.[3] On August 30, 2014, Kelly was re-signed to a two-year, two-way $1.1 million contract with the Devils.[4] On May 12, 2016, Kelly was assessed a ten-game suspension by the American Hockey League for an illegal check to the head of Toronto Marlies forward Andreas Johnson during a playoff game.[5][6]

Kelly spent the duration of his six-year tenure within the Devils organization, with AHL affiliate, the Albany Devils. On July 11, 2016, having left the New Jersey Devils as a free agent, Kelly agreed to a one-year, two-way contract with the San Jose Sharks.[7] After retiring from hockey following the 2016–17 season, Kelly joined the Kitchener Dutchmen as a coach.[8]

Officiating career[]

Prior to the start of the 2019–20 NHL season, Kelly signed an officiating deal with the National Hockey League.[9]
