Hockey Hall of Famer Red Kelly packed several careers into his lifetime — sometimes at the same time.
But hockey was always at the heart of the things for the smooth-skating Kelly.
Kelly won eight Stanley Cups during a stellar 20-season playing career, moonlighting as a member of Parliament as he won NHL championships with Toronto in the mid-60s after starring in Detroit. He then took up coaching, making headlines in 1976 for "Pyramid Power" with the Maple Leafs.
Kelly, who died Thursday in Toronto at the age of 91, was both an elite defenceman and centre.
