'Willie' doc profiles New Brunswick-born Willie O'Ree, the first black player to skate in the NHL

The documentary "Willie" profiles New Brunswick-born Willie O'Ree, who overcame racial barriers and an injury that caused blindness in his right eye to become the first black player to skate in the NHL. As the film screens at Toronto's Hot Docs festival, O'Ree says it's a reminder of the racism that still exists in sports.
