All jokes aside, at the end of the day, Shelley wouldn’t trade his career for anything. He’s been a Columbus institution since he arrived 25 years ago, and he’s found his home as a Blue Jacket.
“I love being in Columbus,” Shelley said. “I love it. This is a guy who’s lived everywhere, all over Canada plus San Jose, New York and Philadelphia. I love Columbus. I love what it’s about. I love the organization. I love everything about it. It’s been very good to me.”
