Sideshow #61 - Willie O'Ree

Biff and Jacques chat the Great Willie O’Ree. The Bruins, a little late to the dance, are finally retiring Willie’s #22 he wore in 1958 when he broke the color barrier.  Biff tells of a personal interaction with Willie in Santa Monica, CA a few years back.  Biff also points out while Willie’s number being retired most likely was a positive step brought on by the BLM movement, the NHL has a long way to go to make their “Hockey Is For Everyone” program a true outreach.    We highly suggest following (and donating to:) https://blackgirlhockeyclub.org Twitter: https://twitter.com/blackgirlshockey   CP: Twitter: https://twitter.com/carnivalpodcast
