"I am proud to co-lead the legislation to honor Willie with the Congressional Gold Medal and give him the place in history he deserves."Sponsored by a bipartisan group of lawmakers, the bill praises O'Ree for helping to integrate the NHL when he debuted with the Boston Bruins on Jan. 18, 1958, against the Montreal Canadiens at the Montreal Forum."When I first learned about the Willie O'Ree Congressional Gold Medal Act, my family and I believed it was an incredible honor to even be considered for such a special recognition," O'Ree said. We look forward to celebrating Willie O'Ree this year, as his jersey is retired to the rafters in Boston and as he inches closer to receiving the Congressional Gold Medal."O'Ree played 45 NHL games over two seasons (1957-58, 1960-61) with the Bruins and scored 14 points (four goals, 10 assists) despite being legally blind in his right eye, the result of an injury sustained playing junior hockey.
