Will Kelly

 is a contestant from Survivor: Mentawai.

Survivor: Mentawai
Age: 30

Hometown: Boston, MA

Current residence: Minneapolis, MN

Occupation: Hockey coach

Hobbies: Aside from literally just shooting pucks at my wall I like to work out, and I give talks at schools occasionally about overcoming adversity.

Pet peeves: People who yell at kids, especially coaches. If you're a parent it's one thing but if you're a coach volunteering your time, it shouldn't be about you.

Three words to describe you: Outgoing, strong, fast

What is your personal claim to fame? Lead my youth team to the state championships in hockey. I also almost played at a D1 school.

Who or what is your inspiration in life? I think it would be cheesy to say another hockey player so I'm not gonna say Herb Brooks. (Laughing) Other than that I'd say Ronald Reagan. He adapted and was able to turn himself from a great actor to an incredible politician. I see a little bit of myself in him for different reasons. My career path wasn't working out, so I took to a different one that I still loved and felt like I could make an impact. I guess the only difference is that he would've succeeded regardless most likely.

If you could have three things on the island, what would they be and why? A pull up bar, a hockey stick, and a puck. I need to stay on my game.

Which Survivor contestant are you the most like? Joe Anglim. I think I'm gonna be a huge challenge beast and social player, and while that can get me into trouble I think I'll be able to manage my threat level pretty well. I think I can play his game the right way.

What's your reason for being on Survivor? I've watched the show forever and I feel like I'm constantly wanting to yell at my TV because the people are being so stupid. I think I could do a much better job than a lot of these people do.

Why do you think you'll "survive" Survivor? I'm a tough guy who's gonna be a useful asset to his tribe early on. When we get late in the game I might be a threat but I think I can supplenment that with a strong social game and keep myself alive for a longer time.
