For Chris Kelly, success on the rugby pitch runs in the family: older brother Matt is also a devotee of the game.
But ask the Northern Secondary School student, and there’s no question who’s the better athlete:
“I am, without a doubt,” he said with a laugh.
Kelly, who also represented Canada on the world stage, suiting up for the under-17 squad, drew praise from his coach as well.
“We made him our captain because he’s experienced, which means a lot, but he’s also someone the kids really respect, because he can do it himself and he’s tough enough,” John Lombardi said.
