Robert James "The Hound" Kelly - Born November 25, 1950 in Port Credit, Ontario is a Canadian retired ice Hockey left winger.

- Stanley Cup Champion 1974, 1975 with Philadelphia Flyers.
Stanley Cup finalist 1976, 1980.

Kelly played most of his junior Hockey with Oshawa Generals, then made the jump to the NHL without ever playing in the minor leagues.

Kelly made his NHL debut with Philadelphia Flyers on October 10, 1970 vs Minnesota North Stars at The Spectrum in a 2-1 Flyers win. He assisted on both Flyers goals.

Kelly scored his 1st NHL goal vs Roger Crozier of Buffalo Sabres at 9:20 of 3rd period on November 8, 1970 at Buffalo Memorial Auditorium in a 3-1 Flyers win.

Kelly would become a Flyers mainstay role player, and one of the reasons they were known as the "Broad Street Bullies" as his play was always with grit and passion.

Kelly suffered a season-ending knee injury in the 1974 Stanley Cup semifinals and did not get to play in the 1974 championship finals, which made his winning goal in the 1975 finals even more sweeter.

Kelly was later part of the famed Flyers KGB line with Mel Bridgman and "T.J." Gorence.

Kelly and the Flyers set the North American pro sports record with a 35-game unbeaten streak during the 1979-80 NHL season (25 wins, 10 ties).

Kelly played in 837 regular season NHL games, scoring 154 goals (28 GWG), 208 assists with 1454 penalty minutes and 101 NHL playoff games, scoring 9 goals (2 GWG), 14 assists with 172 penalty minutes.

NOTE
Kelly scored the 1975 Stanley Cup winning goal vs Roger Crozier of Buffalo Sabres at :11 of 3rd period on May 27, 1975 at The Aud in Buffalo.
