Kelly, 18, was invited to the Senators annual development camp this summer before agreeing to an amateur tryout to attend both the rookie camp and the team's main training camp. Undrafted, the 5-11, 172-pound native of Camrose, Alta., has spent the last two seasons with the Western Hockey League's Prince Albert Raiders.

In 2016-17, Kelly established new major junior career highs in all major statistical categories, including goals (21), assists (22), points (43) and penalty minutes (75), while appearing in each of the team's 72 games.
