Red Kelly (9 July 1927 to 2 May 2019), born Leonard Patrick Kelly, was a Canadian professional ice hockey player and coach who won eight Stanley Cups, four with the Detroit Red Wings and four with the Toronto Maple Leafs, more than any other player who never played for the Montreal Canadiens. While still playing for Toronto he served as a Liberal Member of Parliament for the Toronto-area district of York West from 1962 to 1965. Starting in 1967 he retired as a player to become head coach of the expansion Los Angeles Kings and went on to coach another ten years in the NHL, with a stop in Pittsburgh and ending with the Leafs in June 1977. He was named one of the 100 Greatest NHL Players in 2017.
