Let's talk about #4 on week 4! Did you know Bobby Orr (yes, that Bobby Orr) served as a honorary Bay State Games coach in the 1992, 1993, and 1994 Summer Games? Orr could be seen at many BSG events, including baseball, field hockey, soccer, and (of course) ice hockey.
As an honorary coach, Orr also wrote features in local newspapers speaking about the athletic opportunities at Bay State Games and to discuss the expectation of sportsmanship among athletes and spectators.
Orr was also on hand at the Opening Ceremonies in City Hall Plaza helping to light the torch.
