What particular physical trait (that he kept secret) had, the the first Black,that played for the NHL?

Was the player Willie O'Ree and he was legally blind in one eye?

At the risk of my source, being unsatisfactory ( )..here it is: Link

Of course I hardly need to add, he was Canadian !

When I asked this, I didn't know about his blindness.

The one prerequisite to be an NHL ref.

DG,
Well, then you were overlooking an important fact about a well respected sportsman. I think it always pays to read the whole article.

Oh but wait a minute ...there isn't even a source quoted in that original thread to support the answer!

If you look at the date, you'll notice that it was one of the earliest threads in Trivia. What can I say? I was young and foolish back then. I'm much more mature now, so there!

I don't doubt your maturity.
But put your tongue back in...you're drooling !

Good answer dance girl.

Hopefully, all of us from back then are.
