The Olympics gave the world a chance to watch hockey players we weren't seeing every day, and now a few have gotten NHL contracts.

Kelly, 37, scored two goals in Pyeongchang, including the game-winner in Canada's 6-4 bronze-medal victory over the Czech Republic. Prior to the Olympics he helped Canada win the 2017 Spengler Cup in Davos, Switzerland.

The Toronto native, has played 13 NHL seasons in the NHL with the Ottawa Senators — who drafted him 94th overall as a third-round pick in 1999 — and with the Boston Bruins, where he won a Stanley Cup in 2011.
