Hockey fans, mark your calendars and clear your schedules—Netflix has just announced a game-changing new documentary, and it’s going to be a must-watch for anyone who bleeds black and gold.
Coming this summer, Netflix is set to debut “Orr,” a highly anticipated, full-length documentary chronicling the legendary career and life of Boston Bruins icon Bobby Orr. The buzz is already electric, and for good reason: this is the most comprehensive look we’ve ever gotten into the man who revolutionized the game of hockey.
More than just highlight reels, “Orr” promises an intimate, never-before-seen look into the journey of a kid from Parry Sound, Ontario, who became a Boston sports god. The film will dive deep into his early days, his meteoric rise with the Bruins, his jaw-dropping 1970 Stanley Cup-winning goal, and the quiet strength behind his decision to retire far too early.
And here’s the kicker: Netflix has gone all-in. Insiders say the documentary includes rare archival footage, personal interviews with Orr himself, and testimonies from teammates, rivals, coaches, and even modern NHL stars who grew up idolizing No. 4. Think Connor McDavid, Patrice Bergeron, and Sidney Crosby reflecting on what Orr meant to them.
Executive produced by Emmy-winner Ezra Edelman (known for “O.J.: Made in America”), this project aims to do for hockey what “The Last Dance” did for basketball. We’re talking raw emotion, legendary storytelling, and a spotlight on moments that shaped not just a career—but a sport.
Bruins fans have waited years for something like this. While statues and banners have long honored Orr’s legacy, “Orr” the documentary is poised to bring that legend to life for a whole new generation. Whether you watched him live or only know the iconic flying goal photo, this film is going to hit hard.
Expect the premiere to coincide with Bruins-centric promotional events, exclusive interviews, and even pop-up screenings at TD Garden. If Netflix’s rollout is anything like past sports docs, fans are in for a full-throttle media blitz.
So fire up your subscription, set your reminders, and maybe keep a tissue box nearby—because “Orr” is more than just a documentary.
It’s a love letter to hockey.
