Bobby Orr

On this date in 1978 Bobby Orr scored the final goal of his NHL career and it came as a member of the #Blackhawks.

During his ten years with the Boston Bruins, Bobby Orr’s legendary status with the team made it hard to imagine him ever playing for another team in the NHL. But some shady negotiating by Orr’s agent in the summer of 1976 resulted in Orr playing the final two years of his career with the Chicago Blackhawks. Despite all Orr had done in a Bruins’ sweater, and Orr not having been aware of his agent’s underhanded tactics, the Boston organization would not celebrate Orr’s contributions until years later, after Orr had completely cut ties with his unscrupulous representative.

Ryan Tofil's experience on The Western Journal goes back to 2014 when he was an intern for the non-profit Western Center for Journalism. In 2015, he became the director of Liftable.com, and soon its sister website ThoughtfulWomen.org. These websites eventually combined and became one of the most popular lifestyle websites in the world, at one point being ranked inside the top 200 websites in America by Alexa.com. Liftable.com lives on today as a section of The Western Journal. Since 2018, Ryan has been involved with PatriotDepot.com, the exclusive provider of The Western Journal merchandise and other essential patriotic products, moving to the site full-time in early 2019.

Outside of work, Ryan loves to play chess, sports, and video games; usually while smoking a cigar. He is a proud bird-owner and aquarium aficionado, and always jokes about needing concealed carry permits for his fists, despite only having been in one fight in his life and losing quite badly. His claim to fame is having possibly been the worst NCAA baseball player in the country, riding the bench for a DIII team that went 3-31. He loved every second of it.
