Willie O'Ree : the story of the first black player in the NHL
"O'Ree was determined to become a professional hockey player, and by his first NHL game, he no longer feared the colour of his skin would hold him back. In the dressing room before his first game, a Boston Bruins teammate told him: 'If anyone slurs you, there'll be nine guys on him in the blink of an eye.' But as this new book about they hockey pioneer shows, not everyone celebrated the NHL's first black player." -- Back cover.
