When Willie was 14 his brother Richard taught him how to play hockey. At 15 Willie already was playing on the Frederick Falcons in the New Brunswick Amateur Hockey Association. He kept playing hockey getting better and better and moving the ranks.

When Willie was 19 he passed the ranks of Fredericton

In 1954 Willie stepped up into the senior leagues. At the age of 19 Willie moved to Quebec and played for the Quebec Frontenacs of the Quebec Junior Hockey League where he had 27 goals and 17 assists for 44 points in 43 games.( couldn't use read and write so) I took those words from  https://www.britannica.com/biography/Willie-ORee 

Willie lost 95% of his vison from being hit by a puck during a game. He was told to stop playing hockey since he could be blind in one eye forever but that didn't stop Willie. In a few months he was back on his feet playing hockey. Willie wanted to play in the Nhl so he kept on playing and getting better until one day on January 18th 1958 Willie was drafted into the NHL to play on the Boston Bruins.
