The #SeaKraken will honor the late Larry Kwong, the first NHL player of Asian descent, as part of Lunar New Year night next week. His daughter will be flown in by Alaska Airlines from Calgary to take part in that night’s Hero of the Deep celebration.

We're getting to the final stretch of our #ReadingRoadtrip across Canada. Next stop, Vernon, BC, hometown of hockey legend Larry Kwong. Read all about it in The Longest Shot. Where should we visit next?

[Chad Soon @RedDragons13]

@kidsbookcentre THANK YOU for checking in with our trailblazer in Vernon! In the summer Larry would trade his hockey stick for a tennis racket, and he broke barriers in that sport, too! As Larry would say, “Keep smiling!” Happy trails from the Trails Capital of BC!

In my latest Society for International Hockey Research column, I talk with Chad Soon (@RedDragons13) about the middle-grade reader about Larry Kwong, who was the first player of Asian descent to play in the NHL, but whose story was overlooked for so long: https://t.co/00sDsBr0R0

Thrilled that Larry’s book made the grade for this power-packed list! Thanks to @SpencerBMiller & @CdnSchoolLibrar!

[Cdn School Libraries @CdnSchoolLibrar]

Awesome book reviews for kids of all ages from @SpencerBMiller. “Some of the most creative and imaginative writing for young people is happening in nonfiction books.” You need to add these to your shopping list! https://t.co/LN0tTRcYPn

Just stopped by the United By Hockey mobile museum in downtown Saint Paul and had to snap a pic of this absolutely sick Larry Kwong Nanaimo Clippers sweater from 1942-43
