Arguably the most famous Ice Hockey player of all time is Wayne Gretzky, whose career in the NHL earned him the title "The Great One". He is considered by some to be the greatest NHL player of all-time.

Bobby Orr is well-known for his defensive prowess and is considered one of the greatest NHL players in history as well. As seen on Wikipedia, the following photograph embodies a famous moment in NHL history, during which Orr ended up airborne while scoring a significant playoff goal.
