Growing up, if I hadnt had sports, I dont know where Id be. God only knows what street corners Id have been standing on and God only knows what Id have been doing, but instead I played hockey and went to school and stayed out of trouble. – Bobby Orr
Were going to have more kids playing, and were going to have a better chance of finding those players Minor sports in a community is for fun and recreation. For everyone. – Bobby Orr
Ive been a very lucky guy. I played on championship teams. I played for Canada. Ive won some awards and Im very proud of those accomplishments. But I dont think theres anything greater than to come home and to be recognized at home. This is the pinnacle. – Bobby Orr
The biggest thing we get out of it is seeing the kids smile. And hopefully we will also see that the lessons were teaching – not only the fundamentals of hockey, but also the life values – are sinking in. – Bobby Orr
I think the true gardener is a lover of his flowers, not a critic of them. I think the true gardener is the reverent servant of Nature, not her truculent, wife-beating master. I think the true gardener, the older he grows, should more and more develop a humble, grateful and uncertain spirit. – Reginald Farrer, In a Yorkshire Garden, 1909
