Summary: On January 18, 1958, Willie O'Ree stepped onto the ice at the Montreal Forum for the Boston Bruins and became the first Black player in the NHL. This biography follows him from his childhood in Fredericton, New Brunswick, through the racism he faced on his way to the league, to the day decades later when the NHL made him an ambassador for its Hockey Is for Everyone program.
