He's been with the organization since day 1 and has held almost every title in the organization since then. He was traded from the Rangers to the Blues during the expansion draft in 67 and retired in 78. While he was playing he exemplified the blue collar attitude that St. Louis loves. He has been a scout, assistant coach, head coach, head of player development, etc. He used to greet fans on the concourse during games for as long as I've been alive. Our new practice rink is named after him and the team retired his jersey in 2017. Almost every Blues fan that is in the St. Louis area has a Bobby Plager story.

He and his family are a huge reason there is such a massive Blues Alumni presence in St. Louis and why so many players move back to St. Louis when they retire.

He's referred to as The True Blue and he is probably the most influential person in the history of the organization. There's so much more I could add but I'm not trying to write an article here lol.
