Description

Considered one of the most unique three-way players in NHL history and a highly loved 'hunk', his charismatic style for the Bruins in the 1960s and the 1970s in the Orr years on and off the rink led to two Stanley Cups and a larger than life macho superstar reputation, but his financial foray into the WHA for the Philadelphia Blazers in 1972 failed big time and essentially derailed his career at the top, which led to injury, illness, addiction, team to team changes, monetary mistakes, and eventual homelessness before he rose above from his demons in the 1980s to get back in the ice game's good graces for both the Bruins and the hockey world - and the rest is larger than life NHL history
