Bill Riley, NHL Pioneer, Leaves Lasting Legacy
Nova Scotia's Bill Riley, the third Black player to crack the NHL and first from his province, passes away at 75 after a trailblazing career with the Capitals and Jets. Guys like him didn't just score 31 goals in 139 games - they built franchises like the QMJHL's Moncton Wildcats from the ground up as coach and GM. Front-office vets still whisper about his Calder Cup win and community grit that shaped generations of hockey in the Maritimes.
