Bobby Orr
Bobby Orr is a Canadian hockey player widely regarded as the greatest defenseman in NHL history.
Playing primarily for the Boston Bruins in the 1960s and 70s, he revolutionized the position by combining defensive skill with offensive dominance.
His flying goal in the 1970 Stanley Cup finals—captured in an iconic photograph—remains one of hockey's most celebrated images.
Knee injuries ended his career prematurely.
