Ensign C. Markland Kelly, Jr. Award

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ensign C. Markland Kelly, Jr. Award is presented annually by the USILA to the top goaltender in NCAA Divisions I, II & III. [1] Johns Hopkins has won the most awards, with 14.

The award is named for Charles Markland Kelly, Jr., a native of Baltimore who was a standout goalie for the University of Maryland lacrosse team until October, 1940. At that time, with WWII imminent, he left school to become a pilot in the US Navy. In August, 1941, he received his wings and was commissioned an ensign. He was assigned to duty as a fighter pilot with Fighter Squadron 8 (VF-8) onboard the USS Hornet (CV-8). Flying a Grumman F4F Wildcat on an escort mission for the carrier's bombers at the Battle of Midway, he failed to return from the initial strike, and was reported missing in action on June 4, 1942.

In memory of his son, Mr. Kelly Sr. established the Ensign C. Markland Kelly, Jr. Memorial Foundation. The foundation provided the initial funding for the Lacrosse Hall of Fame, and presents annual awards for outstanding high school and college lacrosse players. The foundation has also provided grants for schools, colleges, youth programs and other civic and cultural institutions, as well as funding for American Legion posts, one of which has been named in his honor.
