1965 Maclean's Magazine Featuring 16-Year-Old Bobby Orr on Cover - Pre-NHL Oshawa Generals

An original February 20, 1965 issue of Maclean's, featuring a young Bobby Orr prominently on the cover during his junior hockey career with the Oshawa Generals, more than a year before his NHL debut with the Boston Bruins.

The cover features a colour action photograph of Orr alongside the headline "How hockey's hottest 16-year-old is groomed for stardom." Inside, a feature article by Trent Frayne, titled He's Just Hockey's Hottest Bet for Stardom, profiles the teenage sensation and the extraordinary expectations surrounding his future in professional hockey.

A desirable early-career Bobby Orr publication, capturing one of hockey's greatest players before his legendary NHL career began.
