Kelly Parker
Kelly Parker (born 8 March 1981) is a Canadian former soccer midfielder who last played for Atlanta Beat in Women's Professional Soccer. She was also a member of the Canadian national team from 2003 to 2012. She is the only player to have been named W-League MVP twice.
Despite having her birthplace officially listed as Regina, Saskatchewan, Parker never actually lived in Regina, with the city only being given because it was the nearest city to the farm on which her family lived at the time of her birth. At age 5 she, along with her family, relocated from their farm near Maryfield to Saskatoon, where she spent the majority of her childhood.
Parker's time in organised soccer began at age 9 with Saskatoon United Soccer Club. She was the Saskatchewan Soccer Youth Female Player of the Year in 1998. She attended Evan Hardy Collegiate, where she was named Athlete of the Year in 1999.
Parker played for Team Saskatchewan at the Canada Summer Games in 1997 and 2001, and also played for the provincial team at the Western Canada Summer Games.
Parker played for the UTEP Miners in Division 1 of the NCAA from 1999 to 2002. She was named the team's MVP in her sophomore year. She captained the team in her junior and senior years. In her senior year, she started in all 19 of the Miners' games, making 19 assists (the nation's most that season) and scoring 11 goals. Her 30 assists overall during her time with the Miners is a program record. She was named to the academic-all league in all four of her years with the University of Texas at El Paso. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in Communications/Public Relations.
In 2015, Parker was inducted into the UTEP Athletics Hall of Fame, with the university labelling her as "one of the greatest players to ever wear a Miner uniform."
Parker is the all-time top goalscorer for the Ottawa Fury. Parker was the league's top goalscorer in the 2003 season. In 2004, she was named league MVP for the first time.
In 2009, Parker was drafted by Sky Blue FC. She was part of the squad which became inaugural Women's Professional Soccer champions in the 2009 season, and was honoured at the White House by President Obama following the victory.
