- Bobby Orr was one of the
- best defensemen ever to
- play hockey. He was a
- pioneer at his position --
- a defenseman who played
- offensively! Bobby was the first defenseman
- to score more than 40 goals in a season,
- win a league scoring title, and score more
- than 100 points. His efforts helped turn his
- team, the Boston Bruins, into champions.
-
- The Bruins recognized BobbyΓÇÖs talents
- unusually early. They acquired the rights to
- sign Bobby and placed him on their protected
- list when he was only 12 years old! The
- Bruins brought him into the NHL in 1966,
- when he was 18. He won the Calder
- Memorial Trophy (given to the best
- rookie) in 1966-67.
