The Bruins officially raised trailblazer Willie O’Ree’s No. 22 to the TD Garden rafters on Tuesday. Watch the jersey retirement ceremony here.
"I will never forget how my teammates in the Bruins locker room accepted me as one of their own," O'Ree said."This was a time when some of the fans and opposing players were not ready to see a Black man in the NHL. When I became the first, I remember the advice my older brother Richard gave me.
"He said he was not only my brother and my friend, but my mentor. He used to say, 'Willie, focus on your goals you set for yourself, work hard, and stay positive.' This is what I tried to do as a member of the Bruins every time I put on the jersey."
