Today, I'm reviewing Orr: My Story, by Bobby Orr.

This was being hailed as one of the most eagerly anticipated hockey books of 2013, and I can honestly say that it does not disappoint. After all this time, Bobby Orr has finally written his story, his way.

He speaks candidly about growing up from “not much” to becoming quite possibly the best NHL player of all time. Much praise is told about his teammates in Boston as they won two Stanley Cup titles together. On the other hand, he talks about watching the team be dismantled soon after the championships, and how the team fell in the standings.

I think one of the most poignant chapters is about his former friend and agent, Alan Eagleson. I won't say much here, other than to say the way that Bobby was treated is deplorable, and everything that Eagleson went through in punishment is, in my opinion, well-deserved.

All in all, this is a wonderful book. Perhaps it can be said that it's a little too positive in some places, and perhaps a bit preachy in others, but no doubt Bobby Orr has a story to tell, and he has a wonderful book here to tell it. Enjoy!!
