description: "John Robert Kelly is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player who played 425 games in the National Hockey League with the St. Louis Blues, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Chicago Black Hawks between 1973 and 1979. Although official NHL records cite him as Bob Kelly, he was commonly known during his NHL career as J. Bob Kelly to differentiate himself from the Bob Kelly who played primarily with the Philadelphia Flyers at that time. Known for his size, strength and toughness, he was nicknamed \"Battleship\" during his playing days."
