Born November 25, 1950 in Oakville, Ontario, Bob 'Houndog' Kelly became an integral piece in the Philadelphia Flyers' Stanley Cup championships of 1974 and 1975. Kelly played his junior with the Oshawa Generals, establishing himself as an aggressive winger with good hands. He was drafted by the Flyers in the 1970 Amateur Draft, and joined the NHL club that fall. As part of the Broad Street Bullies, Kelly was an added fear factor beside players like Dave Schultz, Andre Dupont, Don Saleski, Bobby Clarke and Gary Dornhoefer - all guys who could scrap as well as score. Kelly and the Flyers bulldozed their way to consecutive Stanley Cup celebrations in '74 and '75, the first two chamionships in the history of the Philadelphia Flyer franchise. Kelly played ten seasons in orange and black, but was traded to the Washington Capitals for a draft choice during the summer of 1980. Houndog actually recorded his finest offensive season in Washington, scoring 26 goals, 36 assists and 62 points for a Capitals team that also boasted the firepower of Dennis Maruk and Mike Gartner. But the 1981-82 season was not as positive, and Kelly played just 16 games, registering 4 points.
