Last time. Question: "Are there any black hockey players?" Answer: Yes, and I have been counting down ten of them. And although I'm doing it in no particular order, I had to save a guy that played for the Colorado Avalanche, even...

I started this back in March to keep Black History Month going in the best way I knew how: making it hockey-related by answering the oft-asked question, "Are there any black hockey players?" There have been quite a few since...

People who don't follow hockey often ask me, out of curiosity, if there are any black hockey players. The answer is yes, and I am counting down ten of them, in no particular order. We are at #3: Dustin Byfuglien.

Face it. Hockey is basically considered a white sport, full of Canadians, Americans, and Europeans that have been playing since they learned to walk. As a hockey fanatic, I am often asked, by people that do not follow the sport,...

Answering the question, "Are there any black hockey players?" Yes, and the best place to start would be with the guy that broke the color barrier in the National Hockey League. We are at #10: Willie O'Ree.

No I don't hate it but I said that to get your attention... Sorry if I offended anyone.
