Early Career
Orr was noticed as a future legend at a very young age, attracting the attention of the Boston Bruins at age 12. He joined the Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Hockey League in 1963. Just following his 18th birthday, he officially signed with the Bruins.NHL Career
Orr won the Calder Trophy in 1967 as the NHL's Rookie of the Year. The following season he was selected for his first of eight Norris Trophies as the top defenseman in the league. Orr helped the Bruins rise from last place in the league to win the Stanley Cup in both 1970 and 1972. Turning down a huge deal with the Bruins that included part ownership in the team, Orr signed with the Chicago Blackhawks on June 24, 1976. Orr served as both assistant coach and player for the 1976-77 season in Chicago before missing the entire 1977-78 season with a knee injury. He returned to the team for six games in 1978 before retiring from the league.Life Off The Ice
Orr was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1979, bypassing the regular three year waiting period. In February 2002, Orr purchased a sport management group that he still operates today. The ORR Hockey Group represents several NHL players including Jason Spezza, Eric Staal, Jordan Staal, Rick DiPietro and Steve Downie.-
