Bobby Orr

Bobby Orr is a Canadian defenceman who changed how the position is played and won two Stanley Cups with the Boston Bruins, in 1970 and 1972. Orr won eight straight Norris Trophies and is the only defenceman ever to win the NHL scoring title, which he did twice. Orr’s overtime Cup-winning goal in 1970, scored as he flew through the air, produced the most famous photograph in hockey.
