Me and hockey legend Bobby Orr


I met my hockey idol today. When I was a kid my hockey hero was Bobby Orr. When neighbourhood outdoor hockey teams were picked I was always No. 4 - Bobby Orr. I got the Boston Bruins team coloured socks, I even received a copy of the book "Orr On Ice". He was my favourite NHL player of all time.
I don't follow hockey much now -- but when I was a child it was pretty big.
Although I've met countlesss national political leaders, even the odd actor - I've never had the desire to ask to be photographed together. But, Bobby Orr.
I just couldn't pass up the opportunity.

Keep your stick on the ice. -- EAG
