In this special Black History Month edition of the Historically Speaking Sports Podcast we will talk with Marty's Illegal Stick: A Hockey History Podcast host Scott Kinville as we talk about the stats, contributions and legacies of Black Players in the National Hockey League. Our discussion covers the careers of current black players in the league as well as past all stars such as Grant Fuhr and Jarome Iginla. Included in the discussion is Willie O'Ree who is the Jackie Robinson of the NHL, breaking in with the Boston Bruins in 1958. Later in the show we send a solemn shout out to former MLB all-star and color analyst Tim McCarver who past away recently at the age of 81. That and of course the Homefield Apparel Top 5.
