Bobby Orr
Team Canada # 4

Bobby Orr is one of the best athletes in the history of the game. Unlike most NHL defensemen in the pre-Orr era, he was the one who pioneered a high-scoring effective offensive play for the blueliners. Orr’s slick playmaking talents and end-to-end rushes were spectacular. His speed, technical skills and passion to play made Orr one of the most successful players of all time. Unfortunately, his sports career came to an end due to serious knee injuries.
