Willie O'Ree deserved every single moment of his number retirement ceremony.

On Jan. 18, the Boston Bruins held a special ceremony for O'Ree, retiring his number 22. Both Boston and the Carolina Hurricanes dawned his number in pre-game warmups.

The Bruins legend was the first Black hockey player to play in the NHL, doing so in 1958.
