| Regular Season Statistics with the Franchise |
Despite having a grossly losing record, Kelly is the only Rockies coach to lead the team to the playoffs in
77-78. They didn't have a prayer against the Philadelphia Flyers.
That was probably Kelly's only saving grace in retaining his job for the following season. But a poor start to the
season lead to his inevitable firing.
Most of his coaching successes would come in both the AHL and the IHL after the Rockies job, and in the
Eastern Hockey League before, accumulating over 800 wins in his minor league career.
He was also one of the co-founders of the East Coast Hockey League, as well as its commissioner for the first
8 years of its existence. The league's championship trophy is named after him.
