About Bobby Orr

Bobby Orr is a former Canadian ice hockey player who is widely considered one of the greatest defencemen in NHL history. Born in 1948 in Ontario, Orr's exceptional skating, playmaking abilities, and offensive skills revolutionized the position of defenceman. He spent the majority of his career with the Boston Bruins, where he won two Stanley Cup titles and numerous individual awards, including eight consecutive Norris Trophies as the league's top defenceman. Orr's career was cut short by knee injuries, but his impact on the game of hockey is enduring.
