In four seasons with MSU, Kelly finished with 58 points (24G, 34A), 87 penalty minutes, and a +14 in 144 collegiate games. A native of San Diego, California, Kelly becomes the latest Spartan that has made the professional ranks.

A 5-foot-10, 175 pound right handed shot forward, Kelly brings versatility as a center or a winger at the next level.
