Card Notes

Age means nothing to Bobby Orr. He’s already the NHL’s “Mr. Everything,” and has won more trophies in three seasons than most players manage in a career. He scores like a forward and has been able to rebound from injuries.

En Français

La valeur n’attend pas le nombre des années pour Bobby Orr. Dans la LNH, il est tout. En seulement trois saisons il s’est mérité plus de trophées que d’autres joueurs dans toute leur carrière. Il compte autant qu’un avant et les blessures ne l’ont jamais arrêté.

Details

As flattering as the comments were on the back of this 1969-70 O-Pee-Chee Bobby Orr hockey card, what Orr had done in his NHL career to that point was nothing compared to what he would do starting with the 1969-70 National Hockey League season.

In 69-70, Bobby nearly doubled his point total from 64 to 120. It was enough to capture the Art Ross Trophy as the league’s top scorer, the first time a defenseman won the award. In fact, he remains the only blue liner to lead the NHL in scoring. He would do it again in 1974-75 with 135 points.

He more than doubled his NHL hardware in 1969-70. Prior to the release of this hockey card, Orr had won the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year and twice the Norris Trophy as top defenseman. In 69-70, he would win the Norris and Art Ross, along with the Hart Trophy as MVP and Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. He helped the Boston Bruins to their first Stanley Cup championship since 1940-41.
