Willie O'Ree - The Jackie Robinson of Hockey
National Hockey League Diversity
Today's guest is a living legend. In 1958 Willie O'Ree became the first Black person to play in the National Hockey League when he suited up as a Boston Bruin. His career as a player spanned twenty one seasons but his work with the NHL family continues on today. As the Director of Youth Development for the NHL Diversity program and the NHL Diversity Ambassador, Willie crosses the country non-stop to inspire young people of all races to use the discipline of hockey as a way to achieve their literal and figurative goals. 2008 marks Willie's fiftieth anniversary with the league and today Angela catches up with him at NHL headquarters to chat about his latest activities, to learn how he played his entire hockey career while being visually impaired and to discuss how his commitment to the game paved the way for today's Black NHL players such as Jerome Iginla and Nigel Dawes.
