gold star for USAHOF

Orr states Cherry should be in the HOF


We were starting to think that we were the only ones who thought that Don Cherry should be in the Hockey Hall of Fame. Legendary Defenceman (and depending on who you ask, the greatest Hockey player of all time) Bobby Orr has stated that he believes that the star of Coach’s Corner on CBC should be inducted as revealed in his autobiography.


An entire chapter was dedicated to his former coach in Boston and Orr has stated in a recent interview that “his importance is as great as any player past, present or future.” He goes on to ask if “anyone is bigger in the game.”

That may be a little lofty, but we have stated that Canada (which is the hotbed of Hockey after all) shuts down when he has is two minutes of time on Hockey Night in Canada every Saturday Night. Think about that kind of power for a second? Can the Prime Minister do that?

In regards to the Hockey Hall of Fame, Orr is very blunt believing that "Given his long-standing and continuing contributions to the game, both home and abroad, he is more than worthy of nomination into the Hockey Hall of Fame," Orr writes. "And I can tell you, I will most definitely be in the audience that evening when this oversight is corrected."

So will us, if we can.
