Who influenced Bobby Orr and his accomplishments?
Bobby Orr was influenced by his father who wanted him to be a defenseman. He was an unknown child player about 10 years old or so when two Boston Bruin scouts went to a rink to look at two other players, saw Orr, and immediately identified him as a huge talent. They installed a junior team in his home town of Parry Sound, Ontario, Canada, so Orr could live with his parents while he played and so they would be sure he stayed in the Bruins' system. Don Cherry (his coach at the Boston Bruins) said he knew exactly how to coach Orr: When Orr was on the bench, Cherry opened the door to the ice when Orr was ready to go out and compete; when Orr was tired and wanted to come off the ice, Cherry would open the door so he could come off the ice and sit down. These people, at least, had influence on his development. I saw Orr play live in the days before players wore helmets. The arena was sold out just to see him. He is the greatest hockey player I have ever seen. I met him years later at a charity event. He was absolutely the most friendly and classy person.
Bobby Orr has not died. He turned 60 years old in March 2008.
How hard was Bobby Orr's slap shot?
The hardest shot in the history of hockey. With the advances in the equipment that todays players have Bobby Hull would have shot the puck over 130 miles per hour today opposed to the 120mph he did shoot it at. Imagine how fast the "Golden Jet" would have skated with todays lightweight skates compared to the old heavy ones he went along at 29.7mph i. It is also worth noting that Hull probably never lifted weights in his playing days compared to todays players. His slap shot was simply 50 years ahead of it's time. Bobby Hull used a very short and stiff Northland stick with a large full blade curve taped full blade. That combination with his upper body strength was the perfect formula for his slap shot. By the way his brother Dennis possessed a shot of equal if not harder than Bobby's! If you are trying to authenticate a Hull stick during his playing days in Chicago it should be stamped Gunzos which supplied many of the Hawk's sticks of the day.
