Orr by Bobby Orr
Hockey legend Bobby Orr tells his story, from his Ontario childhood to his years with the Bruins and Blackhawks to today in this New York Times bestselling sports memoir. Bobby Orr is often referred to as the greatest defenseman ever to play the game of hockey. But all the brilliant achievements leave unsaid as much as they reveal. They don't tell what inspired Orr, what drove him, what it was like for a shy small-town kid to suddenly land in the full glare of the media. They don't tell what it was like when the agent he regarded as a brother betrayed him and left him in financial ruin. They don't tell what he thinks of the game of hockey today. Now he breaks his silence in a memoir as unique as the man himself. INCLUDES PHOTOGRAPHSBobby Orr was a member of the Boston Bruins from 1966 to 1976, and then the Chicago Blackhawks for two more years. He is still the only defenseman to win the Art Ross Award league scoring title twice, and he has the most points and assists at that position. He also earned an NHL record eight consecutive Norris Trophies for top defenseman, three consecutive Hart Trophies for league MVP, and two Stanley Cup MVP Conn Smythe Trophies. At the age of thirty-one, Orr was the youngest living player to be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
