Hall-of-Fame hockey player Bobby Orr played 12 seasons in the National Hockey League as a defenceman for the Boston Bruins and Chicago Blackhawks. In addition to numerous personal records and awards, Orr won the Stanley Cup twice, in 1970 and 1972. His overtime goal on May 10, 1970 against the St. Louis Blues, which clinched the Stanley Cup for the Bruins, is one of the most famous goals in history. Orr revolutionalized the role of a defenceman with his scoring and playmaking ability. Orr was noticed as a future legend at a very young age, attracting the attention of the Boston Bruins at age 12. He was signed by the Bruins when he was 14. He joined the Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Hockey League in 1963. Just following his 18th birthday, he officially signed with the Bruins.

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.

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.

Orr's great career can be summarized with one goal that occurred on May 10, 1970. The Boston Bruins were playing the St. Louis Blues in overtime of Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals, with the Bruins up 3-0 in the series and looking to sweep. Taking a pass from Derek Sanderson, Orr streaked past the net, and was upended by Noel Picard just as he shot the puck. As he put the puck in the net past Glenn Hall he seemingly was flying through the air.http://www.bobbyorr.com/Bobby-Orr-Biography-Page-02-W3.aspx The image of the winning goal is arguably one of the most famous hockey images of all time.
