Detroit — Red Kelly, whose No. 4 was raised to the rafters in February at Little Caesars Arena, died Thursday in Toronto at the age of 91.
Kelly was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1969, after having spent 13 of his 20 seasons in Detroit. He played 846 of his 1,316 games in a Wings’ uniform — the remainder in Toronto in an illustrious, 20-year career.
Although finishing his career playing center for the Maple Leafs, Kelly was a defenseman with the Wings and was the first winner of the Norris Trophy in 1954.
