Good to see @TSNHockey and @frank_seravalli leading the way in Canada and creating awareness about getting Willie into the HHOF 🙌🏾 https://t.co/45UwSskBLk

[Frank Seravalli @frank_seravalli]

No question for me. The work he has done as a Builder over the last 20+ years is incredible. He's still pounding the pavement, flying all over the place at age 82, to share his story and include everyone. https://t.co/gRUvYfd1ZB

This is a no brainer. For decades Willie has been one of the leagues biggest ambassadors in growing the game. Long overdue. https://t.co/XkBHMSVKEm

[Devante Smith-Pelly @smithpelly23]

Just wanted to say a huge thanks to @steverosenbloom and all the hockey fans in Chicago who have contributed and supported the Fort DuPont program in DC. I appreciate all the support that I have received from my teammates and so many in the hockey community.

[Devante Smith-Pelly @smithpelly23]

Thank you Willie O’Ree. Without you myself and many others would not be where we are today #HockeyIsForEveryone

[Friends of Willie O'Ree @willieoree22]

@smithpelly23 O'Ree is quoted as saying: "Fans would yell, 'Go back to the South' and 'How come you're not picking cotton?' Things like that. It didn't bother me. I just wanted to be a hockey player, and if they couldn't accept that fact, that was their problem, not mine."

COMMENTARY: Be brave and be kind, just like Becca taught us. #Beccatoldmeto https://t.co/ot6VgyDSvo

@Capitals @M_Nichol Pretty embarrassing that this still happens. Doesn't shock me though which is the saddest part of all. Those ppl should be banned from every rink in the NHL #ignorance @NHL @NHLBlackhawks
