Wow! That’s a wonderful stamp featuring veteran ice hockey champion Bobby Orr... you are lucky indeed!
A fun fact. Bobby Orr was playing against adult men at age 17.
He also didn't like new equipment, and he didn't wear socks in his skates.
If he had access to modern orthopedic care, he would have doubled his 10 year NHL career. I have seen photos of his knees, they look like a railway switching yard, with dozens of surgical scars.
He reinvented the role of the defence man in hockey. He was the first defence player to lead the NHL in goals scored.
One of the top three of all time. Howe, Gretzky and Orr.
