Color photograph used by Ice Hockey in Harlem. The landscape-oriented photograph features Willie O’Ree and three young boys sitting on a silver colored metal bench. Willie O’Ree is the second person in from the proper left side. He is wearing a dark colored shirt, a black zip-up jacket with a logo on the left shoulder, dark pants, and a white baseball cap with several logos on the front. He is smiling with his mouth open and the top of a hockey stick can be seen leaning against his proper left leg. The boy on the far proper right side is wearing a blue, red, and white hockey jersey. It reads [ICE HOCKEY] in red letters with a white outline. Below, it reads [IN Ha-l--] in white. The other letters in “Harlem” cannot be seen due to the folds in the jersey.
