It would be tough for an NHL player to have a better July than the one Parker Kelly just experienced.
The month began with a career-affirming contract and ended with his wedding. For the Kellys, their time in Colorado is just getting started.
“It was a fun summer,” Kelly said. “We had lots of other weddings to go to (as well). We’re kind of getting into that age where everyone is getting married, so we were pretty busy.”
Kelly signed a two-year contract on July 1, 2024 with the Avalanche. At the time, he was a relatively unknown 25-year-old forward who had just set career bests in goals, points and games played with the Ottawa Senators.
