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 18 - 20, 2011 the spirit of these words will be alive in Hockey
in the Hood 7. While hockey players don't necessarily
"join hands" there will be plenty of hard checks and high-fives at
Hockey in the Hood 7
in Detroit, MI.
The Detroit Hockey Association
will host HITH 7 at Jack
Adams Arena. Select games will also be played outside at
Clark Park (1130
Clark Street, Detroit, MI - (313)
297-9328).

family and enjoy some good hockey. All games are free!

brings diverse inner-city hockey teams together for a tournament that is
capped off by the presentation of the Willie O’Ree championship trophy,
the Willie O’Cup. In 2008 HITH IV celebrated Willie O'Ree's
50th anniversary! O'Ree broke the color barrier as the first black player in
the NHL back in 1958.
