More about Robert Gordon Orr:
Bobby Orr, who revolutionized the defence position with his attacking style of play, led the Oshawa Generals to a Memorial Cup (Canadian Junior Hockey Championship) appearance in the 1965-66 season, and was a first-team National Hockey League All-Star eight times in his injury-shortened 10-season career with the Boston Bruins and Chicago Black Hawks. He won the James Norris Trophy (best defenceman) on eight occasions, was the Art Ross Trophy winner (leading scorer) twice, was a three-time recipient of the Hart Trophy as the NHL's most valuable player, and once won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the outstanding playoff performer. He also won the Calder Trophy as NHL Rookie-of-the-Year, and played on two Stanley Cup Championship teams with the Bruins. Bobby was also selected as the Most Valuable Player at the 1976 Canada Cup, which Team Canada won. Bobby, hailed by many observers as the greatest player of all time, received the Lou Marsh Trophy as Canada's Outstanding Athlete in 1970.
