Here's an interesting video I stumbled across must be a repost but I didn't find it using the search feature, and don't remember having seen it before.

Seems pretty well researched and legitimate.

Just ordered the book from Amazon. Thanks for showing us something that was "overlooked" by modern historical teachings.

Great find! Thank you for that. It is amazing how much stuff is "overlooked" as Drew writes...

I love watching the old footage.

[hunterphfr 12]

Not really sure what else I could have titled it. I even thought about changing the title but to what? I can assure you the title was not intended to "sounds a little bad". The following terms were all used in the video:

black history month

black athletes

black players

black people

Black Ice

Title is changed.

"African American" would make even less sense up in Canada.

Even though they glossed over Willie Oree, his XM interview last year was fantastic. One of the highlights of my experiment with satellite radio.

My son did a presentation on Wllie Oree for black history month. Pretty amazing he hid the fact that he was blind in one eye for his entire professional career, because they would not have let him play. He said he thought the coach knew, but it was kind of don't ask don't tell.

i bought the book at the store it should b comin in lik a day

[Drewhunz 3]

Just found a seller on eBay who has nearly 500 editor copies available for $10.00 each with free shipping to the US and $4.50 shipping to Canada. Highly recommended.

"Black Ice"

Very interesting, I am tempted to buy the book.

Thanks Drew, picked myself up a copy. I have been trying to get my mitts on a copy of this book ever since I saw the story on ESPN. I think discovering and reading about stuff like this is great and shows how history and tradition and creation is so amazing.

Can't wait till I get it.

[JR Boucicaut 3803]

I'm reading the book now...it's very good.

I'm probably going to shoot the author an email...

if its true that the Hockey Hall of Fame doesn't recognize the league at all that's a huge shame on them. they deserve their due respect and story told.

[GoHabsGo24 1]

Very cool videos, i never knew any of that... Crazy how HOF dont seem to care...

Fredericton just got a beautiful new arena, and they're naming after Willie O'Ree himself
