Kelly Summers

Kelly Summers is a Canadian ice hockey defenseman. He was an All-American for Clarkson.
==Playing career==
Summers had a tremendous season of junior hockey as an 18-year old, averaging more than a point per game and helping the Carleton Place Canadians win the Fred Page Cup. After the season Summers was drafted by the Ottawa Senators in the NHL draft. He began attending Clarkson University that fall and debuted for the ice hockey team. Summers provided steady production from the blueline and improved each season in terms of his offensive numbers. For his senior season, Summers became one of the top players in college hockey, nearly doubling his point production and helping the Golden Knights reach the ECAC championship game. That season, Clarkson made the NCAA Tournament for the first time in decade and while their appearance was short-lived, it was a huge step for the program.
After graduating, Summers signed a contract with the ECHL's Adirondack Thunder and produced well as a rookie. Near the end of the year he signed a PTO (professional try-out) contract with the Belleville Senators but didn't play in any games for the squad. After resigning with Adirondack, Summers finally got a shot at the AHL when he was loaned to the Binghamton Devils for 9 games.
Summers' time in the minor leagues was cut short when the COVID-19 pandemic ended the 2019–20 season prematurely and then caused the following year to be delayed. Instead of waiting around for his chance to play, he travelled to Germany and has been playing with ETC Crimmitschau ever since (as of 2022).
==Personal life==
Summers' cousin Mike Sullivan also played college hockey. Coincidentally, he too played 4 years at Clarkson.
