History of Representation

A number of ice hockey leagues for players of African descent formed in Canada as early as the late-19th century. The Coloured Hockey League was an all-black ice hockey league established in 1895. Operating across the Maritime provinces of Canada, the league operated for several decades until 1930.

Although other minor ice hockey leagues saw integration in the early 20th century (including the Quebec Senior Hockey League), the major league NHL did not see its first non-white player until November 16, 1926, with Indigenous Native American Taffy Abel broke the NHL colour barrier that day with the New York Rangers.{{cite web |url=http://www.taffyabel.com |title=Taffy Abel }}

On March 13, 1948 Larry Kwong was an Asian playing with the New York Rangers.{{cite web |url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/larry-kwong-calgary-nhl-1.4582793 |title=NHL trailblazer Larry Kwong dies at 94 |last1=Ward |first1=Rachel |date=March 19, 2018 |website=CBC News |access-date=March 19, 2018 |language=en}} Born in Vernon, British Columbia, Kwong was a Chinese Canadian of Cantonese descent.{{cite web |url=http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=377919 |title=CBC targets Chinese hockey fans with Mandarin broadcasts of NHL playoffs |date=April 20, 2008 |website=NHL }} In 1953, Fred Sasakamoose was the first Cree NHL player, and the first Canadian indigenous player in the NHL, debuting with the Chicago Black Hawks. On January 18, 1958, Willie O'Ree became the first Black Canadian to play in the NHL. Playing with the Boston Bruins, he was also the first NHL player of African descent.{{cite book |last1=Harris |first1=Cecil |title=Breaking the Ice: The Black Experience in Professional Hockey |date=2003 |website=Insomniac Press |location=Toronto |isbn=1897415052 |page=20 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8E74agb2dk4C&q=nhl+%22willie+o%27ree%22 |access-date=January 15, 2018}} Val James was the first African American player to play in the NHL, called up by the Buffalo Sabres in 1982.{{cite web |url=https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2015/02/26/389284068/as-first-black-american-nhl-player-enforcer-was-defenseless-vs-racism?t=1659801689979 |title=All Things Considered: As First Black American NHL Player, Enforcer Was Defenseless Vs. Racism |first=David |last=Sommerstein |date=February 26, 2015 |website=NPR |access-date=July 10, 2016}} His stints with the Buffalo Sabres and Toronto Maple Leafs were short-lived and he eventually retired in 1987 due to injury. The number of black NHL players was 26 by the end of the 20th century and sat at 32 in 2016.

Racism and Discrimination

In the 1970's there were zero African-American players in the NHL. That number rose to 26 in the 1980s and rose slightly to 32 in the 1990s. Though seemingly minute, it was a significant change in the racial demographic of the NHL at the time.

Herb Carnegie was the first black player to play on ice in a professional hockey game. Val (Valmore) James, the first U.S.-born African American hockey player called up by the Buffalo Sabres in 1982, refrained from openly discussing his experiences with racism in the league until three decades after retiring from the sport.

The depth of his ordeal was so profound that he reported being unable to watch hockey for a full decade without being haunted by memories of discrimination in the league. James's tumultuous journey serves as a poignant illustration of how societal racism can infiltrate sports cultures.

"When I started skating, I set out to be a hockey player, not a black hockey player,” he wrote. “However, the two concepts quickly became intertwined. And not by choice. From early on, there were some people who were determined to prove that being black and being a hockey player were mutually exclusive."

Further insights into James's life and experiences can be found in the autobiography Black Ice: The Val James Story, authored by Valmore James and John Gallagher.{{Cite web |title=Black Ice: The Val James Story |url=https://ecwpress.com/products/black-ice |access-date=2024-04-29 |website=ECW Press}}{{Cite news |last=Borzi |first=Pat |date=2015-02-04 |title=N.H.L.

Non-black minorities

In addition to black and white players, other races and ethnicities represented in the NHL include players of Asian, Latino, and Middle Eastern descent.
