Dan P. Kelly (sportscaster)


Daniel Patrick Kelly is a sportscaster and is the son of St. Louis Blues broadcaster Dan Kelly, the nephew of hockey and baseball broadcaster Hal Kelly and the younger brother of current St. Louis Blues TV broadcaster John Kelly. He is currently the television play-by-play voice for Chicago Fire in Major League Soccer on NBC Sports Chicago and WGN Sports.

Dan is technically not a junior. His given name is Daniel Patrick Kelly, while his father was Patrick Daniel Kelly.

Kelly graduated from the University of Dayton in 1996 with a degree in Radio Television Communications. In 1997, he returned to his hometown, St. Louis, Missouri to become the radio play-by-play voice for KMOX broadcasts of St. Louis Blues. In 2000 Kelly joined Fox Sports Net Ohio as the first TV play-by-play announcer for the Columbus Blue Jackets. He also hosted the Blue Jackets' pre-game and post-game shows. While in Columbus Kelly won a Midwestern Regional Emmy in 2003 for outstanding live sports coverage.

His time with the Blue Jackets and FSN Ohio was cut short by the 2004-05 NHL lockout. In 2004 Kelly became the play-by-play announcer for the University of Denver Pioneers ice hockey games on Fox Sports Net Rocky Mountain. He also served as sideline reporter for college football games and hosted the Denver Broncos half-time shows on FSN Rocky Mountain. After one season with DU, Kelly returned to NHL broadcasts for HDNet coverage.
