Bobby Orr Biography

I have previously mentioned a Bobby Orr tribute video on NHL Digest that I thought was rather fitting and a great view of the awesome career of possibly the best player to play the game.

However, if you are looking for a great written biography of Bobby Orr on the web, I would suggest that you look no further than Joe Pelletier’s legends of hockey site. Joe has a great piece on the career of Bobby Orr…summed up as the perfect hockey player.

Here is just a snippet of what Joe had to say:

Orr was the sport’s most dominant player, arguably its perfect player, and he did from the blue line. By doing so Orr revolutionized the game of hockey. His slick passing and playmaking and his end to end rushes were unheard of by a defenseman. Only the very very best forwards would try a solo effort. Orr did it seemingly effortlessly, and so convincingly, therefore forever changing the hockey landscape.

I highly encourage you to read the rest of Joe’s Bobby Orr Biography.
