Bob “The Hound” Kelly
Bob “The Hound” Kelly serves as the Philadelphia Flyers Ambassador of Hockey. During his twelve year
playing career, Kelly played 10 seasons for the Philadelphia Flyers. Kelly, a member of both Flyers’ Stanley
Cup winning teams in ’74 and ’75, scored the game-winning goal in game six of the Stanley Cup finals
against the Buffalo Sabres to clinch the Stanley Cup for the Flyers on May 27, 1975. Kelly was also a member
of the Flyers team that put together a 35 game unbeaten streak during the 1979-80 season; a record that has
yet to be broken. Kelly retired from professional hockey in 1982 and has served as the Flyers Ambassador of
Hockey since 2003.
Kelly remains committed to the Flyers
organization today, and works to spread his
love of both hockey and the Flyers while
assisting the community. As the Ambassador
of Hockey, Kelly visits schools, hospitals,
golf outings, and other charitable events to
support the surrounding community. Kelly
works closely with the CR Department to
help the sport of hockey grow by conducting
in-line and on-ice hockey clinics. He is an
integral part of both the School Assembly
Program and the Hooked on Hockey street
hockey clinic.
In addition, Flyers Hockey Hall of Famers
Gary Dornhoefer and Bernie Parent, along
with former longtime employee Joe Kadlec,
also represent the organization at community
events.
