Bobby Orr provided hockey one of its most iconic pictures with his flying, horizontal celebration after scoring the winning goal in the 1970 Stanley Cup final.

The Bruins defenceman beat St. Louis Blues goalie Glenn Hall from the lip of the crease just 40 seconds into overtime of Game 4 to complete the sweep and send fans at the old Boston Garden into a frenzy.

Orr remembers the moment well B次元官网网址� the joy on the Hall of FamerB次元官网网址檚 face is woven into the sportB次元官网网址檚 fabric B次元官网网址� but as he explains in his new book B次元官网网址淏obby: My Story in Pictures,B次元官网网址� a photo differs from a memory.

B次元官网网址淚t represents a single moment in time,B次元官网网址� Orr writes. B次元官网网址淲hen you look at a picture, you might think at first that youB次元官网网址檙e just looking at a person, or maybe a place or some object.

B次元官网网址淏ut really, youB次元官网网址檙e looking at a time.B次元官网网址�

In his new book out this week, Orr shares plenty of his own intimate moments in time.

There are photos of his parents, pictures from his childhood growing up in Parry Sound, Ont., the start of his hockey career, his triumphs, heartbreaks, and life following a premature retirement at age 30 because to injury.

B次元官网网址淚t was a fun process,B次元官网网址� Orr said in an interview with The Canadian Press this week. B次元官网网址滱 trip down memory lane. Seeing old friends, being able to put some of them in there was great.B次元官网网址�

The 70-year-old Orr also wrote a 2013 autobiography titled B次元官网网址淥rr: My Story,B次元官网网址� but said the new book gives readers the opportunity to experience what shaped him through pictures.

B次元官网网址淚 wish I could have put more photos in there,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址漇eeing everything was nice.B次元官网网址�

There are the ones of his father on a corvette in the Royal Canadian Navy in the Second World War B次元官网网址� including an outdoor hockey game with shipmates during some down time B次元官网网址� and his mom and dad in a canoe passing the camera back and forth to take pictures of each other.

There are shots of grandparents, hockey buddies, siblings, and personal family moments with his wife, Peggy, and their sons.

B次元官网网址淲e had tons of photos,B次元官网网址� Orr said. B次元官网网址漈hen we had to whittle it down.

B次元官网网址淚t took a long, long time.B次元官网网址�

The overtime goal in 1970 is presented in three frames, but thereB次元官网网址檚 another lesser-known picture of Hall and Blues defenceman Noel Picard, the player who helped launch Orr in the air, with their heads bowed as the crowd focuses on the BruinsB次元官网网址� celebration.

B次元官网网址淭heir attention is directed towards the corner of the ice at the exact moment,B次元官网网址� he writes of Boston fans. B次元官网网址淚 am on the bottom of the pile.

B次元官网网址淭hatB次元官网网址檚 the winning part of this moment in time.B次元官网网址�

But not all of the moments in the book involve good memories.

ThereB次元官网网址檚 a picture of Orr in a Canada jersey before 1972 Summit Series, which he would miss because of his troublesome knee. ThereB次元官网网址檚 also one of him putting on a brace and of the MRIs of his knees, while the bookB次元官网网址檚 cover has him seated and empty locker-room wearing shorts to emphasize the scars from his surgeries.

Orr won the Norris Trophy as the NHLB次元官网网址檚 best defenceman eight straight times between 1968 and 1975, took the Hart Trophy three straight years as league MVP (1970-72) and grabbed the Conn Smythe Trophy as the top playoff performer in BostonB次元官网网址檚 Cup victories in both 1970 and 1972.

HeB次元官网网址檚 still the only defenceman to win the scoring title, doing it in both 1970 and 1975, but wound up playing only 657 games B次元官网网址� with a mere 36 total coming in his final three seasons because of his knees.

Orr scored 270 goals and 645 assists for 915 points with Boston and Chicago, where he finished his career in 1978.

B次元官网网址淚t wasnB次元官网网址檛 hard,B次元官网网址� he said of including pictures documenting difficult life moments. B次元官网网址�(But) you sit and think, B次元官网网址榃hat could I have done, what should I have done.B次元官网网址� You go through all that.B次元官网网址�

Orr does wonder what might have been if medicine was different in the 1970s or if he had suited up in a later era.

B次元官网网址淚 wish I would have played longer,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址滿y style didnB次元官网网址檛 help. I liked to have the puck a lot. When you have the puck a lot in our game, youB次元官网网址檙e going to be hit.B次元官网网址�

The bookB次元官网网址檚 last 60 pages focus on OrrB次元官网网址檚 life after hockey. There are pictures with friends, including Don Cherry, and fellow athletes.

But Orr said itB次元官网网址檚 no coincidence the book begins and ends with chapters dedicated to his loved ones.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 about how important family is,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淭here are lessons for everybody.

B次元官网网址淚 just hope they enjoy it.B次元官网网址�
