When the Boston Bruins drafted Rob O’Gara with the 151st overall selection in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, they never could have predicted the player O’Gara would one day become. When the team drafted O’Gara, he wasn’t the biggest or the best defenseman by any stretch of the imagination. To his credit, however, O’Gara has put in the work to get bigger, and he managed to fill out his 6 foot 4 frame, currently weighing 215 pounds.
O’Gara, 23, has been to six summer development camps, but he’s now earned a spot in the team’s main camp.
After O’Gara was drafted, he became a standout defender for Yale University, though more for his puck-moving instincts and defensive ability.
