Willie O'Ree, fine Irish lad.
Congratulations Willie. Im proud of you pal.
It's tough to play hockey as kid because it's so expensive. Maybe more expensive than football. Basketball and soccer are inexpensive to start playing. You just need a ball.
Congrats
go Willie!!!

We’re always trying to stop with the division in society but then we have stuff like this. While it’s an amazing thing and I’m not discrediting that why is it that we have a celebration for the first black player but then no celebration for Asians or indigenous or any culture. If you’re gonna celebrate one cultures achievement then celebrate all of them. We’re all about being inclusive right??? RIGHT?!?!?
Awesome! Congrats sir!
Hmmmm….. Hall of Fame Induction next ?? 1st Asian…1st Indiginous…. 1st East Indian…1st Martian….. whats this world come to ?? 45 games gets your jersey number retired ?? WEAK !!

Even the NHL is tapping into the (disg)race game. Humans ought to be honored based on their achievements, not skin color
🖤💛🐻
To all libs… Go love yourself and let’s go Brandon, I agree!!!
Shout out to George Floyd on 603 days of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals!
