| The 22nd Annual Ice Hockey In Harlem Winter Auction
The 22nd Annual Ice Hockey In Harlem Winter Auction was a big success at the ESPNZone in Times Square. Over 300 people came out to support the program, meet current Rangers Petr Prucha, Nigel Dawes and Fredrik Sjostrom and former Ranger stars Rod Gilbert, Adam Graves, Stefan Matteau and Ron Duguay. Fans had a rare opportunity to socialize with Broadway Blueshirts heroes from the past/present and bid on iconic sports and entertainment memorabilia.
This years was extra special…. IHIH welcomed Rangers All-Star, Olympian, 2000 Rookie-of-the-Year, and two-time Stanley Cup Champion SCOTT GOMEZ as the “honorary Captain” of the program. Gomez “follows in the skates” of Mike Gartner, Jeff Beukeboom and Manny Malhotra as IHIH honorary captain and will be active throughout the year on behalf of the program.

IHIH Feature
In honor of Willie O'Ree's 50th Anniversary celebration, the NHL donates $10,000 to Ice Hockey In Harlem
Born in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, O’Ree became the first black player in NHL history when he debuted with the Boston Bruins against the Montreal Canadiens January 18, 1958. This historic event paved the way for future players of diverse ethnic and economic backgrounds to compete in hockey.
O’Ree’s long professional career spanned 21 seasons, mostly in the Western Hockey League (WHL) with the Los Angeles Blades and the San Diego Gulls. He played 45 games for the Bruins from 1958 to 1961.
O’Ree was named Director of Youth Development for NHL Diversity in 1998 and has continued his efforts to ensure hockey is accessible to all. During the past 10 years, O’Ree has educated youth, advocating the message that “Hockey is for Everyone” regardless of color, gender and economic situation. He has been the inspiration for more than 40,000 kids who have gone through NHL Diversity programs.
Willie made history in Boston and 50 years later with the NHL he continues to provide opportunity to others, especially children. |
