Robert Gordon Orr was born in Parry Sound, Ontario, Canada, on March 20, 1948. Bobby Orr began his junior career with the Oshawa Generals at the age of 14. He set a record for goals by a defenseman with Oshawa. At 18 he signed with the Boston Bruins of the NHL. He won the Calder Trophy as top rookie in his f i r s t season. A fast, skilled player, Orr revolutionized the role of the defenseman. He won eight consecutive Norris Trophies (1968-1975) as best defenseman. He added three Hart Trophies for most valuable player, and he won two Art Ross Trophies as scoring leader. Orr led the Bruins to the Stanley Cup in 1970 and 1972, winning the Conn 49 Smythe as playoff MVP on both occasions. Incredibly talented, Orr had the ability to dominate play on the ice. However, multiple knee injuries would limit his career. Despite his injuries, Orr led Canada to the 1976 Canada Cup championship and won the tournament MVP award. After signing with the Chicago Black Hawks in 1976, Orr played only a handful of games. He retired in 1979 and was immediately inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
