So who is Greg Abel? Here are a few things to know about the person who is first in line to replace the Oracle of Omaha at Berkshire: Abel has been with Berkshire Hathaway for more than two decades, most recently overseeing the company s energy holdings as the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Energy.
Abel was born in Edmonton, Canada, where he s said he grew up in a working-class neighborhood with a salesman father. He grew up loving hockey (his uncle, Sid Abel, played over a dozen seasons with the Detroit Red Wings). I remember getting together with other neighborhood kids as soon as we could after school, Abel told the Horatio Alger Association in 2018. We played hockey nearly every day in summer and winter and stayed out until we were called in for dinner.

They may have played different positions (Esposito a forward and Orr a defenseman) but these might be the first two names that come to mind when you think of the Boston Bruins. They were the two most dominant offensive players of their era as they combined to win seven consecutive scoring titles between 1968 and 1975. In five of those seasons they finished first and second in the scoring race. They finished first and third in one of the others. The Bruins won two Stanley Cups during their time together, while Orr remains one of the most game-changing players in league history for the way he helped revolutionize the defense position. He was a consistent 100-point threat and scoring champion contender as a defenseman, something that was and still is almost unheard of in the NHL.
