Within the hallowed confines of TD Garden, retired jersey numbers hang high, immortalizing the legendary players who have graced the ice for the Boston Bruins. These numbers represent not only individual achievements but also the rich history and storied tradition of one of the NHL's most iconic franchises.

Among the most notable numbers retired by the Bruins is number 4, which belonged to Bobby Orr, the legendary defenseman who revolutionized the game with his dynamic style and offensive prowess. Named an NHL All-Star in eight of his nine Boston seasons, Orr led the NHL in goals for six straight years, winning the Art Ross Trophy as the league's leading scorer three times. His impact on the game was so profound that he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame just three years after his retirement.
