Insert non-formatted text here. At the beginning I was going to do a report on a basketball player seeing how basketball is my favorite sport, but when I tried to look for a famous Canadian basketball player I couldn’t find the right information. I gave up on basketball and went to an easier sport like hockey. Out of the many hockey players in Canada, Robert Gordon Orr is the only one that I know, so I decided to write about a player that I can actually find information about. Robert Gordon Orr, also known as Bobby Orr, was born in 1948 in Parry Sound, Ontario. The defenseman started playing on the Boston Bruins at age 18 and in his first professional season he won the Calder Memorial Trophy. He also won the James Norris Memorial Trophy eight consecutive seasons, from 1967 to 1975. The hockey star started to play for Canada in 1976 in the Canada Cup series. Orr was named the outstanding player of the tournament. Bobby Orr retired in 1978 because of his constant knee injuries. Bobby Orr has repetitively contributed to Canadian sports and society.

Bobby Orr was a very successful young man when he started playing hockey. He inspired many people with his talent on the ice. He had a repetition to please people with his playing of hockey. In 1979, Orr was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame for the youngest person to ever receive the honor. His final totals were 657 games, 270 goals, 645 assists, 915 points, and 953 penalty minutes. As he went through his whole hockey career he suffered from major knee injuries but as always he continued on with hockey. His hockey playing time had been cut short because of those knee problems but, he is still recognized for his generous tribute towards charities. In conclusion Bobby Orr was a very interesting man to read up on. He has successfully ended his hockey career in making children all over the world be inspired by and into hockey. He has set many records and I think he’ll be remembered for generations to come. --Lovin Lisha 16:49, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
