The photo shows Willie O'Ree, wearing a Boston Bruins hockey jersey with the number 22. He is holding a hockey stick and wearing gloves, with a Bruins cap on his head. The background features a blurred indoor setting with large windows and structural beams.
Happy birthday to Willie O'Ree, born on this day in 1935 in Fredericton, New Brunswick!
The first Black player in the NHL, he played 45 games for the Boston Bruins, recording 14 points. In the WHL, he had 639 points in 785 games. He is a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame.

#Nowspinning on Truth & Reconciliation Day; Gord Downieβs haunting album Secret Path. Itβs musically brilliant but a tough listen/watch. Itβs also important and maybe Gordβs most cherished legacy.
You can, and should, watch it all here - www.youtube.com/live/yGd764Y....

Missed the Arkells show sadly. I think Elliott Brood in β07(?) might be tops for me. About 300 Dub Antennae shows are tied for 2nd.

Great interview this morning @brentstaeben.bsky.social. This year felt like a big win for Harvest. Music was as great as ever - headliners lived up to hype (and then some) and some nice surprises - and the new venue was 10/10. Still working on that corporate sponsorship.β¦next year I guess π¬
