Part of the Orca Biography series for middle-grade readers, this illustrated nonfiction book tells the story of how Larry Kwong became the first player of Asian descent in the NHL.

Larry Kwong became the first player of Asian descent in the NHL when he played one shift with the New York Rangers in 1948.

Even though Larry''s achievement happened more than 70 years ago, his contribution to hockey is only now being recognized. He broke hockey''s color barrier and fought racism and discrimination at every step of his career. From his humble beginnings on the outdoor rinks in Vernon, British Columbia''s Chinatown all the way to playing at Madison Square Garden and in the NHL, this inspiring hero has a timeless story for young readers.
