Martin Luther King Junior asserted, "I have a dream that one day ... little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers."
February 24 - 26, 2012 the spirit of these words will be alive in Hockey
in the Hood 8. While hockey players don't necessarily
"join hands" there will be plenty of hard checks and high-fives at
Hockey in the Hood 8
in Detroit, MI.
The Detroit Hockey Association will
host Hockey in the Hood at Jack
Adams Arena. Select games will also be played outside at
Clark Park (1130
Clark Street, Detroit, MI - (313)
297-9328).

anniversary! O'Ree broke the color barrier as the first black player in
the NHL back in 1958. Read
