"The LA Kings send our deepest condolences to the entire Kelly family," Kings President and Hockey Hall of Famer Luc Robitaille said.
Kelly was integral in Kings history, leading the team to the Stanley Cup Playoffs in the franchise's inaugural season.
"Mr. Kelly enjoyed an incredible Hall of Fame career as a player before embarking on a coaching career that included helping lay the foundation of the Kings," Robitaille said.
