MabusIncarnate 5,344 Report post Posted March 1, 2012 O'Ree was the first black player in the NHL, but the main purpose of the article here was to reveal that he was blind in one eye for his entire career and no one ever knew about it. He feared he wouldn't be allowed to play pro with one eye so kept it a secret. It was a pretty interesting read. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's amazing what doctors and trainers did and didn't do way back when. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crymson Report post Posted March 1, 2012 I'm just barely able to restrain myself from making a crack about Dr. Rahmani. Anyway, interesting stuff. 1 Nightfall reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted March 1, 2012 I wonder how many other players back then were hiding medical problems. Some guys may have played their entire careers with a concussion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
