1966-67 NHL Season

1966-67 is known for many historic events in the National Hockey League. It was the last year of the Original 6 era. It was the first year Bobby Orr played in the NHL. It was the last year the Toronto Maple Leafs won the Stanley Cup championship.

With Orr entering the league after a junior career with the Oshawa Generals, it would be the last season until 1975-76 that he would not be the recipient of the Norris Trophy as the league’s top defenseman. The winner in 1966-67 was Harry Howell of the New York Rangers. The winner in 1975-76 was Denis Potvin of the New York Islanders.

Bobby Orr did take home some hardware in his first season with the Boston Bruins. Orr took home the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year with Ed Van Impe, Brian Conacher, Joe Watson and Pete Mahovlich also in the running. He was also named a Second Team All-Star.

For the Norris Trophy, it was a tight battle between Howell and Pierre Pilote of the Chicago Blackhawks. Harry received 113 total votes while Pilote was given 95 votes. Bobby Orr finished third in voting with 36 votes.

Stan Mikita of the Chicago Blackhawks was a triple crown winner, taking home the Art Ross Trophy, Hart Trophy and Lady Byng Trophy while also being named a First Team All-Star. Mikita won the scoring title with 97 points, a 17 point edge over teammate Bobby Hull.

The Chicago Blackhawks dominated the regular season with 41 wins and 94 points. The next team in line was the Montreal Canadiens with 77 points. However, in the opening round of the playoffs, the Hawks were stunned by the third seed Toronto Maple Leafs with the Buds eliminated the favourites in six games. Toronto would then oust the Montreal Canadiens in the final for the Stanley Cup championship.

Along with Bobby Orr, fellow future Hockey Hall of Fame members Serge Savard and Rogatien Vachon also played their first games in the NHL. Bill Hay and Red Kelly both called it a career and retired from the game as players.
