Black Ice Confronts Racism in Hockey
By admin
Black Ice is a new documentary about the historical impact, influences, and marginalization of Black athletes in ice hockey. Executive produced by Drake, LeBron James, and Maverick Carter, this film examines the history of anti-Black racism in hockey, from the segregated leagues of the 19th century to professional leagues today, where Black athletes continue to struggle against bigotry. Film producers hope the audience takes away multiple elements to inform the way forward. “First of all, it’s about acceptance. It’s about conversation. It’s about education. It’s about questioning—questioning your history, questioning who are the gatekeepers [of hockey]”. “It’s about challenging that. I hope they [the audience] take that away, [and that] they just look at the sport differently.
