Encyclopedia Dictionary Thesaurus The Web eBooks loadkeyword("Bobby Orr"); Bobby Orr Encyclopedia Definition: Bobby Orr Robert Gordon Orr (born March 20 ) is a Canadian ice hockey player. He is thought of by many as the greatest hockey player ever. Bobby Orr Born in Parry Sound Ontario Canada , his ice hockey talents were evident at a very early age. As a 14-year-old he played for the Oshawa Generals in the Ontario Junior A League, competing against mostly 19-and 20-year-olds. National Hockey League rules dictated that he could only join the Boston Bruins as an eighteen-year-old. In his first professional season he won the Calder Memorial Trophy as outstanding rookie and began a turnaround for the perpetually last-place Bruins that culminated on May 10 when he scored one of the most acrobatic goals in hockey history to give Boston its first Stanley Cup in 29 years. A defenseman , Bobby Orr revolutionized the game of hockey, creating a new breed of defenseman with his offensive role. His speed, most notably a rapid acceleration, and his open ice artistry electrified fans as he set almost every conceivable record for a defenseman. Most he still holds today. Despite being limited by knee injuries which would later force him to retire early, he dominated the National Hockey League during his career. In a shortened career, he still won the James Norris Memorial Trophy as the league's most outstanding defenseman eight times, more than any other player in NHL history.

24. Safe & Fun By Eric Rumble. When bobby orr was growing up in Parry Sound, Ontario, playing hockey had little to do with accolades and awards. http://www.gmcanada.com/english/special/chev_safeandfun/saf_parents_bobby.html

Back to Parents home Back to The Pros home By Eric Rumble When Bobby Orr was growing up in Parry Sound, Ontario, playing hockey had little to do with accolades and awards. He and his pals would lace up their skates, grab their sticks and head for the ice, often a frozen stretch of the Seguin River near his home. There were no parents and no referees and games ended at dinnertime, or sundown. "It was never anything organized," says Orr, "just all of us playing to have a good time and that's it."At age 53, nestled into his role as one of the game's most visible ambassadors, and humbly enjoying his status as the best defenceman ever to play, he wants to recreate those circumstances for the kids who wish for the same things he did. Unfortunately, it's much easier said than done. "So many of today's programs are about trophies and jackets, and we think that's a big mistake," says Orr. Having spent his formative years in and around hockey rinks, it's obvious that he's partial to the lessons the game has taught him. "Growing up, if I hadn't had sports, I don't know where I'd be. God only knows what street corners I'd have been standing on and God only knows what I'd have been doing, but instead I played hockey and went to school and stayed out of trouble." With a teacher like Orr, it's tough to imagine his influence being anything but magical.

Contact Us 1-on-1 with #4 Jason Murdoch CBC Sports Online When Bobby Orr - the greatest defenceman ever to lace up the blades - drives around the countryside in the winter he sees something terribly wrong. Orr, who developed his quickness and soft hands playing shinny as a boy on the frozen Seguin River in Parry Sound, Ont., doesn't see kids outside playing hockey on their own anymore. He can't remember the last time he's seen 20 kids out on a backyard rink just for the fun of it. "When was the last time you saw a field with a bunch of kids all by themselves and no adults to mess up the kids' activity?" Orr asked. "The kids wait for it to be organized. They want to go play all of these tournaments, for a little practice time. I learned my skills by dropping the puck just with the kids. I think that's missing today. RELATED ITEM: Hear Bobby Orr's full interview on This Morning's web page "You hear all the time about European players playing the game. These players that come over at 17, 18 and 19, they just don't all of a sudden become skilled. From the time they were little fellas, they learned the fundamentals of the game. Let them create." Even 21 years after he announced that he was hanging up the blades in a tearful news conference on Nov. 8 1978, Orr's opinions on the game carry a lot of weight.

(July 21, 2003) I think it's coming! At least, that's what I heard. The town of Parry Sound was buzzing Friday - after all, it was an enormous date for the area. Friday, July 18 was the official opening of the Bobby Orr Hall of Fame within the Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts on the waterfront of this beautiful Ontario town. The germ of an idea had been planted in 1979 when Bobby Orr was forced, through injury, to retire from the National Hockey League. Orr had perennially shown immense pride in his hometown, and the community wanted to honour this extraordinary athlete and citizen in an extraordinary manner. But Halls of Fame and museums don't spring from the soil like so many maple seedlings dotting the wooded areas that line the highways on trips to this vacation community. It would be twenty-four long, often challenging years before the dream would finally be realized. The Georgian Bay neighbours the new Bobby Orr Hall of Fame. The areas around the perimeter of the Charles W. Stockey Centre were a hive of activity leading up to the ribbon-cutting at 1PM - face painting, Native ceremonial dancing, a steel drum band, fiddlers, trampoline demonstrations, synchronized skipping exhibits and food and drink areas. The Hockey Hall of Fame was on site with several of the trophies Orr had won through his brilliant career - the Canada Cup, the Hart Trophy, Lester B. Pearson Trophy, the Art Ross Trophy, the Norris Trophy, Conn Smythe Trophy and Calder Trophy. Fans circled the silver awards, examining the hardware and pointing to Bobby Orr's inscribed name. But there was a whisper that permeated the crowd "

Bobby Orr Signs With Boston August 1966 At 18, Bobby Orr didn't just bring phenomenal potential to the NHL. He brought an agent, Alan Eagleson. The Bruins had missed the playoffs the previous seven years, and Eagleson demanded an unprecedented salary for his young hero who had yet to play an NHL game. Bruins GM Milt Schmidt, while livid, caved in, thus allowing Orr to join the league for 1966-67 and ensured other superstar veterans to command a higher salary in the coming years. Quotable: "Orr is worth $2 million to us because we can build around him for 15 to 20 years." - Boston GM Milt Schmidt in 1967 Previous Next In an exhibition game against a touring Soviet team at Maple Leaf Gardens, the Marlies used a few players from other teams, notably Bobby Orr wearing the Marlies' sweater.

Photo by Ray Lussier of the Boston Herald Brearley Collection Of the 296 goals Bobby Orr scored in his brilliant career, the one that enters the realm of legend took place in the Stanley Cup final on Mother's Day, Sunday May 10, 1970. A banner high above the ice wished Orr's mother a happy one. She wouldn't be disappointed. The Boston rink was a steaming 90 degree's F as the upstart expansion St. Louis Blues skated out to meet the Bruins in overtime. The players, drained by the deadlock and the humidity, wanted to end this one quickly. With the puck deep in the St. Louis zone, Orr blocked a clearing pass, then slid the puck to teammate Derek Sanderson in a "give-and-go". Sanderson placed the puck perfectly on Orr's stick, and Orr, about to go airborne courtesy of St. Louis defenceman Noel Picard, scored the game winner a mere 40 seconds into overtime to give the Bruins their first Stanley Cup victory in 29 years. For a young hockey player growing up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, this was a very special moment. This was the first game I could remember watching from start to finish on Television as presented by Hockey Night in Canada. The game has been forever etched in my mind as when I first identified my first hero (next to my mother and father). We all wanted to be Bobby Orr. To Canadiens, these were the days of our youth, we played on outdoor rinks and imitated our hero's. In fact, that was the year I was the leading scorer in the "Tiny Mite League". I scored 29 goals in 12 games and "we won it all". I remember my father in his "goloshes" all bundled up watching me from his vantage point on top of a snow pile by the boards. That was the most exciting time in my life because he was watching my performance as if I was a superstar like Bobby Orr or Phil Esposito. I ended up liking Esposito because EVERYONE wanted to be Orr. I also chose number 7 as my favorite number just like Esposito.

40. Normalized Assists perhaps thinking there’s been better offensive defenseman, you need to go out, buy Total hockey And hit yourself over the head with it. It’s bobby orr! http://members.shaw.ca/hbtn/player_study/norm_assists.htm

THE HOCKEY PROJECT / HBTN Home Team Study Player Study Columns ... About Me Normalized Assists In my earlier essay on Normalized Goal Production , I conducted a statistical analysis of the great goal scoring seasons, and devised a mathematical model which adjusts totals based on several factors. These factors include things such as length of schedule, ice time, the level of league scoring, and more. Using the same principles, as well as 5 kg of coffee beans, I have further developed the formula to include Normalized Assists. This will give us a further idea of who the great point makers are and were in the history of the National Hockey League. The Problem Over the course of its existence, the NHL has handed out assists at varying rates. In the earlier years of hockey assists were awarded more in the nature of assists in a basketball game. By the time the 1980s arrived, Grant Fuhr was able to get 16 assists, presumably from stopping a shoot-in so Paul Coffey could carry it up the ice and feed one of the number of all-stars on the Oilers roster. Anyway, to make a long story short, I “simply” needed to go through each season in the history of the league and determine the rate at which assists we awarded per goal. From there, it was a simple step of applying the modifier to the existing formula, and adapting it for assists. Actually, it’s making a VERY long story short, but that’s the gist of what I had to do.
