Q&A with authors of "Black Ice" at Copper & Blue
The issue of race in hockey, particularly in the junior/amateur system, has come up a few times at this site. Particularly in the comments beginning here on the Richard Park report card last month.
If you enjoyed that mini-discussion, you'll enjoy this one: A great interview at Copper & Blue with the authors of "Black Ice: The Lost History of the Colored Hockey League of the Maritimes, 1895-1925."
