Bobby Orr - He was god in these parts.
Johnny 'Pie' McKenzie and Derek Sanderson were a couple more I liked.

Yvan Cournoyer - Heresey from these parts to like a Canadien but I loved the way this guy would streak down the wing.

My first ever sports hero was the Red Sox Tony Conigliaro.

My team: Roy, Naslund, Robinson, Chelios, McPhee, Nilan

Other teams: Gretzky, Lemieux, Yzerman, Coffey, Kerr, Stastny bros, Hextall, Lindberg (he and Roy are the reasons I started playing goalie)

Adolescence list get crazy long, as my hockey world/knowledge expanded incredibly during the fantastic late 80s and early/mid 90s (a.k.a. "the Upper Deck years"). Roenick, Sakic, Lindros, Jagr, Fedorov, Hasek, Bure, etc, etc.

On the Bruins, Raymond Bourque was THE man as far as I was concerned. Around the NHL, I'd have to say I was always amazed by the 1980's Edmonton Oilers. Mark Messier (in my opinion) is the best player I've ever seen. Strength and skill. Just like Bourque. Hands-down they were my faves for a long time.
