Willie O'Ree, who broke the NHL's color barrier 60 years ago with the Bruins, was elected to the Hockey Hall Of Fame on Tuesday.
O'Ree joins the Hall Of Fame as a "builder" of the sport as he is a long-time ambassador of the game of hockey.
Joining O'Ree in the 2018 Hockey Hall Of Fame class are commissioner Gary Bettman, Martin Brodeur, Martin St. Louis, Jayna Hefford and Alexander Yakushev.
