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.

I wonder how many other players back then were hiding medical problems.
Some guys may have played their entire careers with a concussion.
