Bobby Orr
Considered by many to be the greatest hockey player of all time, Bobby Orr revolutionized professional hockey. In his years with the Boston Bruins, he epitomized grace and elegance in the way he played and such was his talent that it remains difficult, if not impossible, to quantify his impact on the sport. But for all of the superlatives heard in all of the retrospectives, and for all of the awe still generated by the recorded images so expertly captured by WSBK-TV in Boston, perhaps Orr's greatest legacy was in the inspiration he provided to those thousands of youngsters across New England who filled ice rinks and outdoor skating ponds in the years of the Big, Bad Bruins.

    • Trivia
      Orr's most famous moment was his game-winning goal for the Boston Bruins over the St. Louis Blues in overtime of the final game of the 1970 Stanley Cup finals - Orr received the puck from teammate Derek Sanderson, was tripped as he made his shot, and the puck went in the net; the image of a cheering Orr as he fell to the ice is among the most famous sports images in Boston and national history.
    • Quotes
      [on Don Cherry] Everybody wanted to play for Don. He was fair but he was also tough. He understood your level. He understood what he wanted from you and what you could do. He was a great motivator and he knew a lot more about the game than you might think. He was 'no bull'. You knew where you stood with him and, hey, we were men, and that's the way it should be. He loved his players - he was a players' coach. He protected his players. If you did your job and you did it right, there was no problem with Don. People have no idea now generous he is. They think he's just this rough, gruff guy. But I know how generous he is and the kind of work he does.
