WILLIE O'REE CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDAL ACT
Ms. DEAN. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill
(S. 452) to award a Congressional Gold Medal to Willie O'Ree, in
recognition of his extraordinary contributions and commitment to
hockey, inclusion, and recreational opportunity.
The Clerk read the title of the bill.
The text of the bill is as follows:
S. 452
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of
the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Willie O'Ree Congressional
Gold Medal Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Willie O'Ree was the first Black player to compete in
the National Hockey League (NHL), appearing for the Boston
Bruins on January 18, 1958, in the throes of the civil rights
movement in the United States helping to end racial
segregation in the premier professional ice hockey league; he
is widely referred to as the ``Jackie Robinson of Hockey''.
(2) Willie O'Ree was born October 15, 1935, in Fredericton,
New Brunswick, Canada; he is the youngest of 13 children and
a descendant of Paris O'Ree, whose name appears in the famous
historical document ``The Book of Negroes''.
(3) Willie O'Ree was raised by his parents in Fredericton,
a predominantly White town where hockey was deeply rooted
within the culture. O'Ree was a standout athlete on the ice
and the baseball diamond.
(4) At age 21, O'Ree was being scouted by professional
baseball teams and seriously considered baseball as a career.
Upon experiencing the segregated South for the first time
while appearing for a minor league tryout, his dream changed
and his attention turned solely to ice hockey.
(5) While playing amateur hockey, Willie was struck in his
right eye with a puck and lost his eyesight. He was told by
doctors to abandon his hockey career; instead, never
disclosing the extent of his injury, he pursued his dream of
playing professional hockey.
(6) At the age of 22, O'Ree was called up from the Quebec
Aces of the Quebec Hockey League (QHL) to play for the NHL's
Boston Bruins at a time when only 6 teams existed in the
league. O'Ree was unaware he had broken the color barrier at
the top level of the sport until he read it in the newspaper
the following day.
(7) Blind in 1 eye and a victim of racism at times
throughout his career, O'Ree persevered and played
professional hockey for 22 years, tallying over 1,000 points.
(8) In 1996, 17 years after O'Ree retired from professional
hockey, the National Hockey League hired O'Ree as the first-
ever Diversity Ambassador. Having already changed the game
forever through his courage and convictions, O'Ree gives new
definition to what it means to be a trailblazer.
(9) In this role as Diversity Ambassador with the NHL,
O'Ree set out to grow the sport by providing access,
opportunity, and motivation for children of all races,
ethnicities, origins, and abilities. With O'Ree providing a
vivid example of what is possible and serving as a relentless
supporter of children pursuing their dreams, more than 30
nonprofit youth organizations, dubbed Hockey is for Everyone
programs, were developed across North America, each committed
to offering minority and underserved children an opportunity
to play hockey, leveraging the sport to build character,
foster positive values, and develop important life skills.
(10) Through Hockey is for Everyone programs, more than
120,000 boys and girls have been positively impacted. O'Ree
has devoted nearly 2,500 days on the ground with the youth
participants, visiting more than 500 schools, community
centers, and rinks to speak to hockey's core values and
beliefs: stay in school; set goals for yourself; remain
committed and disciplined; and always respect your teammates,
coaches, and parents.
(11) Hockey is for Everyone programs have provided
important opportunities for youth to partake in physical
fitness. Today in the United States, fewer than half of the
children ages 6-11 engage in the recommended amount of
physical activity, and that number is lower for low-income
families. O'Ree has stood as a champion of youth athletic
participation and its health benefits for decades.
(12) Hockey is for Everyone programs provide numerous off-
ice services to youth: SAT and academic tutoring, mentoring,
nutrition education, college counseling, community service
opportunities, and more. The program has excelled at using
hockey as a vehicle to improve the social and emotional
wellness of youth and improve students' academic performances
both in primary school and beyond.
(13) O'Ree was also named a Member of the Order of Canada
in 2008 and, in 2018, the City of Boston released an official
Proclamation recognizing January 18, the anniversary of the
day he broke into the game, as ``Willie O'Ree Day''.
(14) In November 2018, 60 years after O'Ree entered the
NHL, he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in the
``builder'' category in recognition of his efforts to grow
the game, using his position and the platform of hockey to
improve the lives of children throughout North America.

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentlewoman from

will control 20 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Pennsylvania (Ms. Dean).
General Leave
Ms. DEAN. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may
have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend their remarks
on this legislation and to insert extraneous material thereon.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentlewoman from Pennsylvania?
There was no objection.
Ms. DEAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of S. 452, the Willie O'Ree
Congressional Gold Medal Act.
I thank Michigan Senator Stabenow and the gentleman from Illinois
(Mr. Quigley) for their work on this bill which honors Willie O'Ree, a
trailblazer for diversity and inclusion in sports and the first Black
player in the National Hockey League.
Born in 1935 in the predominantly White town of Fredericton, New
Brunswick, Canada, O'Ree made a name for himself as a standout athlete
in both ice hockey and baseball. At age 21, he was being scouted by
professional baseball teams in the United States. However, upon
experiencing racial discrimination and the effects of segregation
firsthand while in the south for minor league tryouts, he shifted his
focus solely to ice hockey.
In 1958, at the age of 22, O'Ree was called up to play professionally
as a winger for the NHL Boston Bruins. In doing so, he became the first
Black professional ice hockey player in the league. Despite being blind
in one eye from an injury during his time as an amateur hockey player
and enduring racist attacks from hockey fans and players alike, O'Ree
persevered and continued to play professional hockey for 22 years.
In 1996, the National Hockey League hired O'Ree as its first-ever
diversity ambassador, which set out to transform the predominantly
White sport of ice hockey by providing greater access and opportunity
for children of all races, ethnicities, and origins.
[[Page H236]]
O'Ree has personally devoted thousands of hours to Hockey is for
Everyone programs which provide community outreach and support for
youth participants to partake in physical fitness and live out hockey's
core values of commitment, discipline, and respect for your teammates,
coaches, and parents.
In 2018, 60 years after O'Ree first broke the color barrier for ice
hockey, he was inducted into the NHL Hockey Hall of Fame in recognition
of his longstanding support for greater access and diversity in the
sport.
This bill honors O'Ree's trailblazing legacy both on and off the ice.
I thank Ms. Stabenow and Mr. Quigley for their work on this bill.
Mr. Speaker, I urge members to vote ``yes'' and I reserve the balance
of my time.
Mr. BARR. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
I rise in support of S. 452, the Willie O'Ree Congressional Gold
Medal Act.
Willie O'Ree's story is one of determination and perseverance, one of
the greatest qualities a human being can have.
Willie, born October 15, 1935, was the youngest of 13 children of
parents Rosebud and Harry O'Ree. The O'Ree family was one of only two
Black families that lived in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Willie is a
descendent of Paris O'Ree, a slave who escaped servitude in South
Carolina in the late 1700s at only 15 years old.
When he was 3, Willie fashioned skates out of wooden blocks with
metal blades attached to the bottom and took to his frozen lawn in the
backyard. He had a knack for skating. Two years later at age 5, Willie
began to play organized hockey. Many refer to Willie as the ``Jackie
Robinson of hockey.''
Interestingly, at Dodger Stadium in 1949, 2 years after Robinson
broke baseball's color barrier, a 14-year-old O'Ree had the opportunity
to meet his hero. In one interview, Willie recalls that as Robinson
made his way down to the receiving line, Willie waited patiently. When
his turn arrived, he spoke to Jackie and said, I am a baseball player.
But what I really love is hockey.
Robinson replied, Oh, I didn't know Black kids played hockey.
Nearly 9 years later, on January 18, 1958, Willie put on a Boston
Bruins uniform for a game against the Montreal Canadians and became the
first Black player in NHL history.
{time} 1300
From 1958 to 1961, O'Ree played in 45 games for the Bruins, all while
hiding a secret that he was, in fact, blind in one eye.
Willie paved the way for a new generation of hockey players. Wayne
Simmonds of the Toronto Maple Leafs was quoted as stating:
Willie set the table for everyone else to eat, and he did
it all with dignity and class. I used to think about Willie's
story whenever teachers or hockey parents or coaches would
laugh at my dream of making it to the NHL.
Willie's story did not end after he left the ice. Seventeen years
after he retired from professional hockey, the NHL hired O'Ree as their
first-ever diversity ambassador. This role put Willie in a position to
grow the sport by providing access, opportunity, and motivation for
children of all races, ethnicities, origins, and abilities.
In November of 2018, O'Ree was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame,
and just last night, 64 years to the day of his historic entrance into
the league, his number 22 jersey was raised to the rafters in TD Garden
and retired; an act of ultimate recognition of what a player means to a
franchise, a fan base, and a community.
Mr. Speaker, Willie O'Ree forever changed the sport of hockey. His
determination and perseverance should be recognized with a
Congressional Gold Medal.
Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill, and I reserve
the balance of my time
Ms. DEAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from
Illinois (Mr. Quigley).
Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Speaker, 2 days ago our country took time to
celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and reflect on our
ongoing effort to ensure racial equality in America. It is fitting then
that today this body considers legislation to honor the life of Willie
O'Ree who, like Dr. King, was on the frontlines of racial integration
in America and has dedicated his life to the ideals of diversity and
inclusion.
In 1958, Willie O'Ree integrated the sport of hockey by becoming the
first Black player in the National Hockey League. Well, known are the
stories of barrier-breaking athletes like Jackie Robinson in baseball
and Bill Russell in basketball; Mr. O'Ree's story is lesser known.
He was born in Canada, the youngest of 13 children. His grandfather,
Paris O'Ree, escaped slavery in South Carolina and fled to Canada.
Growing up in Canada, O'Ree quickly developed a love and talent for
hockey. During his early years playing hockey, he was blinded in one
eye by a stray puck. However, this setback did not deter him from his
dream of playing professional hockey. A few years later, Willie finally
got the call to play in the NHL with the Boston Bruins, becoming the
first Black player to do so.
But the road ahead was not an easy one. During his time playing for
the Bruins, Willie endured racist slurs by fans and opposing teams. He
suffered illegal hits and rough treatment constantly. But that was not
enough to deter him. He remained committed to playing hockey and would
do so for 22 years in the NHL and the minor leagues. Think about that,
Mr. Speaker, he played 22 years of professional hockey while enduring
racism and bigotry; oh, and only having vision in one eye.
Willie never intended to stop the fight for inclusion in the league
once he left playing hockey. After hanging up his skates, he became the
NHL's diversity ambassador, a role he continues to this day.
In the 1990s, he established the Hockey is for Everyone initiative to
offer marginalized and underrepresented children an opportunity to play
hockey and develop important life skills. Since its inception, more
than 120,000 children have participated in the program.
After his remarkable career on and off the ice, Willie has begun to
receive the recognition he has long deserved. In 2018, he was inducted
into the Hockey Hall of Fame, and just last night, his jersey was
retired by the Boston Bruins.
It has been my honor to know Willie over the past decade and help
lead this bill to award him a Congressional Gold Medal. I am thankful
to my colleagues, Representatives Higgins, Pressley, Emmer, and Katko,
who led this legislation in the House with me, and Senators Stabenow
and Scott who led this bill in the Senate.
When I was young, my heroes were hockey players. They were talented,
strong, and skilled. They taught me many things. At the time they were
all White. Willie fought his entire life to change that during and
after his career. Hockey, the sports world, and our country are better
off because of his efforts.
I had no idea that the year I was born Willie O'Ree broke the color
barrier in hockey. And it wasn't until many years later when I had the
honor of meeting him that I learned that my own heroes from the Chicago
Blackhawks and their fans gave him some of the harshest treatment
during his time in the NHL.
But his life has been a true testament to those values I learned as a
young hockey fan: strength, courage, and perseverance even in the face
of tremendous odds. He is a true gift to our country and to a sport
that I and so many others love. Awarding him the Congressional Gold
Medal will serve as a small but important token of our country's
gratitude.
Mr. BARR. Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as he may consume to the
gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Emmer). This Member of Congress not only
played collegiate hockey, he is a hockey dad, and spent over 20 years
as a hockey coach, he is one of the best fans of the game of hockey in
the United States Congress.
Mr. EMMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of S. 452, the Willie
O'Ree Congressional Gold Medal Act, and to recognize the incredible
impact that Willie O'Ree has had on the great sport of hockey.
Willie etched his name into the history books in 1958. When he became
one of the select few--and it is a very few--who got called up from the
minors to play in the National Hockey League for the Boston Bruins,
Willie broke down racial barriers for sure. He would go on
[[Page H237]]
to play more than 24 seasons as a professional hockey player, despite
facing countless challenges on and off the ice.
Willie O'Ree remains a trailblazer for many, but his contributions
certainly did not end after his retirement from his playing career in
1979. As we have heard, in 1996, he became the NHL's diversity
ambassador. In this capacity, he established the Hockey is for Everyone
initiative to create a culture of inclusivity and provide an
opportunity for disadvantaged children across this country and North
America to play the game. His work continues even to this day to
reinvigorate and grow the great sport of hockey while setting an
example for underrepresented communities here at home and on an
international level.
As the NHL and teams across the country finally recognized Willie
O'Ree's incredible contributions to hockey, today is Congress'
opportunity to honor a true legend of the game that is loved and
enjoyed by millions.
Remember, we know that hockey was given to us directly from God
because it is played on ice, which can only exist in Heaven.
Mr. Speaker, I am proud to co-lead this long overdue effort, and I
urge all my colleagues in the House of Representatives to honor this
icon of our God-given sport by voting ``yes'' on S. 452.
Ms. DEAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the gentlewoman from
Massachusetts (Ms. Pressley).
Ms. PRESSLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of our bill, the
Willie O'Ree Congressional Gold Medal Act, legislation which honors the
historic career and life of service of the one and only Willie O'Ree.
With today's vote in the people's House, we honor a giant, and it has
been an honor to be a steward in this effort. Willie is a trailblazer,
an ice breaker, a hero, and an activist whose powerful story is unknown
to too many. That ends here today. We change that.
Mr. Speaker, 64 years ago, in the midst of the fight to end Jim Crow,
Willie O'Ree made history with the Boston Bruins by becoming the first
Black player to play in the National Hockey League.
A descendant of enslaved people who escaped the horrors of slavery
through the Underground Railroad, Willie was born and raised in New
Brunswick, Canada, and was the youngest of 13 children. His love of the
game began at the young age of 3 when he earned his stripes playing
alongside his older siblings.
Known as the Jackie Robinson of hockey, Willie played 45 games in the
NHL and spent more than two decades playing professional hockey--all
while hiding the fact that he was nearly completely bind in one eye.
Willie O'Ree was a young and fast left winger, but he could not out-
skate the racist backlash in response to his desegregating the National
Hockey League. As the sole Black player in the NHL at the time, Willie
endured relentless bigotry, racism, discrimination, and even violence
from fans and players both on and off the ice. And despite it all,
Willie embodied resilience, grace, dignity, and never gave up on the
determination to live out his dream.
In the decades following his historic career on the ice, Willie has
spent his time paying it forward to the next generation of ice
breakers. As the NHL's director of youth development and diversity
ambassador, he has worked to increase opportunities for young Black and
Brown players so that they too can take their rightful place in the big
league.
In 2018, Willie was formally inducted into the NHL Hall of Fame; and
while his time with the Boston Bruins was short, his legacy lives on to
this very day. Earlier this week, Mayor Michelle Wu declared January 18
in the city of Boston Willie O'Ree Day marking the momentous day 64
years ago when Willie hit the ice and changed the game forever.
Just yesterday, the Boston Bruins formally retired Willie's number 22
jersey, raising it up in the rafters at the Garden alongside other
Bruins legends.
Mr. Speaker, Black history is American history, and today we salute
an American hero and inspiration. Willie demonstrates for us the power
of holding on to one's dreams--an ice and ceiling breaker.
I would like to thank my esteemed colleagues, Representatives
Quigley, Katko, and Emmer, for their partnership, and the 290
colleagues who cosponsored this piece of legislation in order to get it
across the finish line. My team and I have been working diligently
pushing and organizing since 2019, and this work would not have been
possible without the support and partnership of the longtime grassroots
activists who organized to ensure that Willie, who took up space and
who created space, now takes his rightful space in our history books.
The Congressional Gold Medal is Congress' highest expression of
national appreciation and recognition. With this honor, Willie will
join history-makers like Jackie Robinson, the Reverend Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr., and Coretta Scott King, and the Tuskegee Airmen--
incredible company for an incredible man.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
Ms. DEAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield the gentlewoman from Massachusetts an
additional 1 minute.
Ms. PRESSLEY. Mr. Speaker, at the age of 86 years young today, we
give Willie O'Ree his flowers.
Go Bruins.
Mr. BARR. Mr. Speaker, I would just like to, once again, reiterate
the significance of this Congressional Gold Medal. Willie O'Ree not
only forever changed the sport of hockey, but he truly helped change
the history of this country. His determination and perseverance and his
trailblazing spirit should be recognized with a Congressional Gold
Medal.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Ms. DEAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from New
York (Mr. Higgins).
Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of S.
452, the Willie O'Ree Congressional Gold Medal Act.
Willie O'Ree, which has been already said, was a trailblazer for
hockey both on and off the ice. He was to the National Hockey League
what Jackie Robinson was to Major League Baseball.
As the first Black player in the National Hockey League, he endured
racism, bigotry, and prejudice from both players and fans. Despite
this, he played more than two decades in the National Hockey League and
in the minor leagues developing his skills and later becoming the
National Hockey League's diversity ambassador.
Willie O'Ree broke down historic barriers and paved the way for young
athletes in marginalized communities. In 2012, he visited my community
for the Willie O'Ree Skills Weekend hosted by the National Hockey
League Buffalo Sabres. Today we honor his dedication to improving
diversity and accessibility in sports which makes him most deserving of
this high honor.
He is an inspiration to all athletes, and particularly to young
athletes of color in western New York and throughout the Nation. I
strongly urge my colleagues to support this bipartisan legislation.
{time} 1315
Ms. DEAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time.
Willie O'Ree is often referred to as the ``Jackie Robinson of ice
hockey'' for helping to end racial segregation in the National Hockey
League. Mr. O'Ree's positive impact on the sport of ice hockey goes far
beyond his role in ending racial segregation in the sport.
This bill honors O'Ree for both his barrier-breaking role and his
decades of championing diversity and greater youth access to the sport.
I thank Ms. Stabenow and Mr. Quigley, the lead sponsor of the House
version of the bill, and our other colleagues who worked so hard on
this bill for ensuring that Mr. O'Ree and his trailblazing legacy of
sportsmanship and inclusion receive the recognition he so richly
deserves.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the
gentlewoman from Pennsylvania (Ms. Dean) that the House suspend the
rules and pass the bill, S. 452.
The question was taken.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds
being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
Ms. DEAN. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
[[Page H238]]
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution
8, the yeas and nays are ordered.
