Many young Canadians dream of playing hockey in the NHL. For some, no matter how talented they are, it seems like an impossible goal.

Meet some of hockey’s amazing trailblazers — players who wouldn’t take no for an answer and leaders who persevered to make their hockey dreams a reality:
Willie O’Ree, the NHL’s first black player, who faced both racism and serious injury on his quest to make it in the big leagues; Manon Rhéaume, the goalie who became the first woman to suit up for an NHL team; George “The Chief” Armstrong; Larry Kwong and more.
