Kevin Vautour and Kerry Keene's New Book "Number 4: Bobby Orr!" Shares the Career of an Extraordinary Hockey Legend and His Legacy Throughout History
Recent release "Number 4: Bobby Orr!" from Page Publishing authors Kevin Vautour and Kerry Keene is an impassioned dedication to one of the hockey league's most prolific players of all time: Robert Gordon "Bobby" Orr.
MELROSE, Mass., May 20, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Kevin Vautour, a member of the Society for International Hockey Research (SIHR) and the Rhode Island Reds Heritage Society; and Kerry Keene, a freelance writer and lifelong follower of Boston sports, have completed their new book "Number 4: Bobby Orr!": a heartwarming account depicting the phenomenal life of Bobby Orr and his contribution to the world of hockey that inspires others with respect and determination.
Authors Vautour and Keene delves into the persona of one amazing hockey player and the era of Bruin's greatest peak: "Bursting upon the National Hockey League scene in the fall of 1966 amid enormous hype and expectations, Robert Gordon "Bobby" Orr would go on to exceed all predictions of greatness. Displaying All-Star level ability from the start, it was his talent as a play maker and scorer that utterly revolutionized the game of hockey.
At the same time, Orr helped revive a tired, long-suffering Boston Bruins team, leading them to their first Stanley Cup in twenty-nine years at the age of twenty-two. Orr and company would drink from the Cup again two years later as he continued to cement his legacy with MVP Awards and Norris Trophies. The unforgettable sight of him rushing the puck up ice with blond hair flying was a thing of sheer athletic beauty.
But Orr's fragile knees plagued him throughout his career, ultimately forcing him to retire before the age of thirty. But in his ten years with the Bruins, the remarkable body of work and the greatness he achieved prompt many hockey historians to regard him as the all-around greatest, most skillful player in history.
Vautour and Keene state that, "May 10, 2020 will mark the 50th anniversary of the flying Orr goal that helped the Boston Bruins to their first Stanley Cup in 29 years. That team and that goal inspired an entire region of men and woman, boys and girls to follow the game of hockey and the Boston Bruins."
Number 4: Bobby Orr! is the most ambitious in-depth look at Orr and the Bruins' greatest decade."
