Playing career
Orr played for the Swift Current Bronco's and the Kamloops Blazers in junior and gained a reputation as a fierce fighter, as his Swift Current coach Brian Dunn put it: "He (Orr) has one of the best right hands I've ever seen". Orr went undrafted and signed as a free agent with the Boston Bruins. On November 29, 2005, the New York Rangers claimed him off waivers from the Bruins. Orr scored his first NHL goal in a February 9, 2007, game against the Tampa Bay Lightning's Johan Holmqvist.
On December 31, 2006, Orr was suspended for five games by the NHL for a cross check to the face of Washington Capitals' Alexander Ovechkin in the third period of a December 30 game at Madison Square Garden. Ovechkin was uninjured, but NHL Senior Vice President and Director of Hockey Operations Colin Campbell termed Orr's infraction "reckless".[1]
On July 1, 2009, Orr signed a four-year, $4 million contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Orr would finish the season with a career high 239 penalty minutes. He would also finish with career highs of 4 goals and 6 points.[2]
Personal life
Orr is not related to Bobby Orr, although the Hall of Famer has served as his agent.[3] Orr's father, Doug, was a semi-professional basketball player, and his mother, Mollianne, is a health care worker.[3]
