Well, you never know how a former NHLer is going to transition into a teaching/coaching/management role, so there's always a bit of risk involved. That said, he's definitely the type of High IQ smart player who should excel in the role.

I'm looking forward to see what he can do with the kids.

Great to see the Olympian Chris Kelly back with this team. All the points made about him playing 800 games while not being particularly talented are absolutely correct. That's the kind of player that understands the game and knows what it takes to have a successful career. I wouldn't be surprised if he eventually makes the move over to coaching (maybe as an assistant in Bellville at some point).

Welcome back Kells. We even gave him some time pretty much as a player/coach. Seems like the kind of guy meant to be a coach one day.

Can't be upset about 'stonehands"/ "battleship" Chris Kelly coming back home in this role. Excellent hire.
