Canadian Hockey players with the Order of Canada

[Big Phil]

Anyone have a list? I am trying to go on memory but if it serves me correct it is Gretzky, Orr, Howe, Beliveau and Richard. Not sure if there is more or not.

Pretty sure there are/were a fair number more than that. For some reason Syl Apps comes to mind. Do know that Alan Eagleson is no longer allowed to use the secret handshake.

I know Phil Esposito and Guy Lafleur have. I believe Red Kelly as well.

Yep, I'm pretty sure that Red Kelly and Bobby Hull have it as well.

Father David Bauer is a member as well. I know, he's not a player, but he's a hockey icon....

Maurice Richard and Jean Béliveau are companions of the Order of Canada, which makes them... well, superior to regular members (if that makes sense)

There a re anumber of hockey players on the list.

There are over 5552 recipients of the Order of Canada (Companions, Officers and Members). Here is the search engine and list:

You know how some people have complained how the HHOF isnt as exclusive as it used to be? That's nothing. The Order of Canada has disgraced the entire country by some of it's choices. No, not Eagleson. How about Henry Morgentaler receiving the award this summer. I'm sorry but I can no longer find the Order of Canada that special anymore since the father of Abortion in Canada gets honoured. No offense Mr. Beliveau...........

Well, I think many of us would benefit for having Morgantaler's balls, if you know what I mean.

Keep politics out of the hockey sections.

No, not really. Not a big fan of the guy, but since we shouldnt discuss it here send me a PM if you want

Although that brings up a valid point, you probably wouldn't be making that statement if you'd agreed with the expressed sentiment.

I shouldn't have replied to Big Phil. My mistake.
