This is a Re-Posting of Sideshow 61 from Jan. 21, 2021
TODAY IS THE DAY … FINALLY, the Boston Bruins retire Willie O’Ree’s number 22!!
The NHL needs to retire his number league wide!
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.
