Great and important story but it's ironic that a story about getting history wrong does just that. I could be wrong myself but I'm not aware of ANY Underground Railroad connection with Nova Scotia and at most a handful of African-Americans would have come here that way (instead the main destination was Southern Ontario). The black community here predates the UR by several decades and most Black Nova Scotians are the descendants of Loyalists who came here in the early 1780s.
Canada is "supposed" to be a Multi-Racial, Multi-Cultural country. You wouldn't know that be the lack of Aboriginal and Black visible minorities in hockey. There are more Black's in American sports than Canadian Blacks in sports like Lacrosse, Hockey, and Football in Canada. Canada looks more racist than the United States.
White people just don't get it, we the Blacks of the world have made stuff and educated to help all races not just our own. That's the difference between whites and blacks of the world today!
its a known fact that whites kept blacks down in sports in the early days. they didn't what people to see that these "so called niggers" can compete when given a fair shot. just look at baseball. ruth is looked at as god. but their were black players just as good as him, but the majors never let them in because they wanted ruth's legacy to be what it is now. blacks are getting a fair shot in sports now and look! look! a lot of the top athletes in sports are black. they knew this years ago
just know hate is a form of jealousy. you think i would waste my time hating on white people ? i have my life to live, i don't care about what the next man is doing. some white people put so much into hating on blacks and that shows weakness/fear. putting so much into keeping us out of sports back then, targeting us just to get that police record on us. its like live your life and get of our backs. you went so far as to coming up with names for us lol. its like their obsessed with us
"Black Invention Myths"? So I guess all that information, photos, news clippings from the CHL days are just myths huh? Blacks migrating to Scotia, which they dominate today population wise, during slavery just doesn't seem to connect huh? Okay.
Lokius you are a real piece of shit. Assuming that kid is 12 and then racially slandering him? Real tough on the Internet you loser. Hockey is for everyone and ANYONE can be great at it. See Jarome Iginla, who has a very good chance of being the captain of team Canada soon. I'm a white 26 year old male from Ontario and I support anyone who loves the game as much as I do.
@ah59396 I was off by a whole three years. I went to school! I know about the whole bantam and midget leagues and it was a good guesstimate.
You go ahead and keep allowing niggers into your home areas. Then as your wife is being raped by one while two others have you knocked out after they jumped you from behind; don't blame me! One in four south African men have admitted to raping a woman. Don't believe me? Google the terms "BBC one in four rape South Africa."
Naive? How so? I work in the public sector and deal with all types of people. I've been all over the world and met (and worked with) people from every facet of life. So far the only ones I haven't liked are scared, sad individuals such as yourself. You are a dying breed my friend, the quicker you add to those waning numbers the better. Once a loser always a loser. YOU, are the disgrace.
Some people will believe anything they hear because it's on tv. No wonder our nation was duped into two pointless wars. HAHA. Actually.. It's not really that funny...
Do you know what else blacks claim to have invented? Peanut Butter, horse shoes, the golf tee, and street lights. Just Google black inventions and you will find a site that lists those items and many more. If you actually research it, then every item I mentioned (and many more) were really invented by whites. Even Peanut Butter was invented by a white man before a black man. The golf tee? The black man was a little late and his tee was garbage. Research it.
It continuously amazes me how much "Magik niggers" claim to invent. Hockey is the only sport I enjoy watching. And this is because there are no gorillas on the ice.
fuck that bullshit, this is Canadian, and is a white sport... don't see no awesome black hockey player... next thing you know, they'll start saying skiing is black...
HAHA! You guys wish! As soon as a sport is seen "too white" (played and liked by too many white people) the bloody jews have to dirty it up a bit. What dunce would believe this shit is beyond me!
Pathetic! This is why i loathe and despise ESPN. Fake reporting and phony whites here. All this lying and emoting . Just the pandering alone is enough to make you vomit.
black pepole can't play hockey im sorry but its true yathere are a couple that can but not very many im sorry i don't mean to be rasict but hockey isa whit mans sport probobly becouse the contreys that have snow are white dominated and for the thing about hockey being made in the U.S thats bull shit hockey is completly Caadian this is just another example of America trying to prove there better than everyone else and trying to take our pride away
@izkcq71 your offended so you insult me on my spelling. i am french canadian you idiot english is only my second laguage and your just angry becouse your race can't play hockey
@hanmerboys fuck you bitch im black and im a goalie and we can play very well for example i happen to hold the record for most season catch saves for all age groups in the 2010 season and i shall try to beat my own record in this 2011 season and i was a bantam in 2010 now this year im a midget age group goalie this year 48 catch saves not many kids can match my catching accuracy and speed you asshole and also im from florida mother fucker!
@patrickRoy33kaw You are in the midget age group? You are a goalie. Hmm.. Not much skating required to be a goalie. A midget this year? How old does that make you? 12? LOL
Come on nigger. Stop making up your stories. Produce some articles and some stats. If you aren't lying, then you probably just happen to be playing against a bunch of other inner city schools and thus your entire league is probably black. Hey nigger, how about you name me one successful black created and ran nation.
@LokiusMaximus we dont have any inner city leagues here asshole we have to travel the fucking country for tournaments and none of our schools have hockey in the southern states and midgets age group is 18 and under bitch ,bantam is 14 and under we have to play teams from across america
@LokiusMaximus i used to play defense in 2005 and im 15 now and i dont know any nations that you are asking about but i couldnt give a flying fuck less about that and my league is USA hockey search it up bitch
@patrickRoy33kaw haha. You niggers are so funny when you get angry. It's not my fault your people have not invented a single thing. Peanut butter, the golf tee, the stop light, horse shoes, etc are all things that black websites claim blacks invented. If you actually research all these items, then you find whites invented them all first. I would like you to name one nigger created and ran nation that would provide you half as good of a living as any white nation. Bet you can't name one.
@LokiusMaximus wow you are so stupid that its hard for one to even comprehend because you list all these random things and ask who created what and the truth is I DONT GIVE A FLYING FUCK AND NEITHER DOES ANYONE ELSE! but dont get me wrong i understand the point you are trying to make but the one question i have is ..... how are those things relevant to hockey sir? And also i dont know who made those hings black/white/mexican/asian but the truth is that I dont care who did
@LokiusMaximus and also you are correct on the topic that i cannot name any nation that was created by blacks but i dont see where thats relavent on the topic of hockey and african americans, also just because a website says on the god damn internet says that african americans created something doesnt mean that we believe it for example:I still dont see the necessary proof or evidence to confirm that blacks created hockey but that is my personal belief which doesnt reflect on what others think
@LokiusMaximus midget is 15 j,s dude 12 would be peewe or atom you got your ages off on a long shot you should lern about hockey befor commenting even if your suporting my argument
@hanmerboys Who the fuck cares? The point remains the same. Three years isn't that big of a deal, but I wouldn't expect a child to understand that.
Of course, if the exact age group is important, then maybe you should learn how to spell a bit before commenting? Sure it has nothing to do with the point you are trying to make, but it is important.
@hanmerboys Exactly. And who cares if I was off on the age group by a couple years. It still didn't change the relevance of my point that the nigger is full of shit. Niggers are the biggest liars ever and they are the cockiest people ever. They belong in jungles. I take that back. They belong dining in underwater KFCs. hahaha
@LokiusMaximus well that is taking it a litle to far i do agree that some black pepole do need to shut the fuck up and stop acting as if the world owes them something but some black pepole (even tho they are very rare) are very respectful and make me feel sorry that there the same race as the other becouse they deserve better but to those who can't even pronounce the word the and need to say da can shut the fuck up
@hanmerboys thats because you don't walk in the shoes of a black person. you think racism is done ? my friend i wish to god you can walk in our shoes just to see whats its like, then you would understand. just look at the comments under my comment. you have no clue what we still deal with. my mom bought a house in a nice area and the white people there act like shes stole it or shes selling drugs or something. they throw snow balls on her window at night so she'll move.
@H3770mynameis i am not a fan i find he is overrated for the fact that he is black the only african ameircan player that i tihkn is probprely rated is Iginla and Plante
@hanmerboys Iginla has a black father, he himself isn't black..he's mixed race...come on now lads, if you're going to talk about race at least get Iginla's race accurate instead of conveniently ignoring half of his ancestry
@MyMadra iginla`s skin color is black therfor he is black i don`t care if you had a white persone in your familly if your skin is black your black not half white your black
@MyMadra you really think a racist white person will call Iginla mix ? yes he is mixed, but one look at him and he's a nigger to them. just look at obama and the racial abuse he takes. growing up he was called a nigger and he's still being called a nigger today. Iginla know what racial group he falls into, which why you see him speaking on being a black player in the NHL. he's playing a sport thats known to be racist, so im pretty sure he's been called a nigger on the ice more than once.
@hanmerboys no i can agree that it is a white dominant sport but i disagree with u saying we cant play because most of us that do are pretty good so dont get me wrong on my first response because i didnt read this comment yet when i posted the first one
@hanmerboys "Black people can't play hockey...I don't mean to be racist..." Contradict yourself much? To place limitations on an entire race of people because of skin color is the definiton of racism. When has skin color ever determined athletic prowess/ability? Hockey is a predominantly white sport because of lack of exposure as it pertains to other races. As far as when and where hockey was created, no one really knows. But, its always best to keep an open mind.
It is good to read something positive even though it is late coming. All Americans should be proud of this story regardless of color, gender or age, There were some great people who came before us. I am proud of them all, for they made a way for so many individuals in today's world. Thanks for sharing a wonderful story.
what's sad is that this story had to be brought to light by two white guys's cause if anyone black with the exception of maybe Oprha would have been completely overlooked and dismissed . Welcome to 21rst century America, where you can be black and the President of the US but will catch hell with regards to a hockey issue. Now lets all post this story to some white supremacy sites, who always say that blacks haven't contributed anything to society.
@leftofcenter4 It is good to read something positive even though it is late coming. All Americans should be proud of this story regardless of color or gender. There were some great people who came before us. I am proud of them
all, for they made a way for a lot of individuals in today's world. Thanks for sharing!
Ironic how one guy says this is bull crap in spite of the picture showing the contrary. Wow, he must've been on the Rodney King jury and missed the asswhooping by 14 cops against one guy in spite of video taped evidence. :-/ Luckily, most people on this post seem to have their heads on their shoulders and not severely stuck in their arse. :-) yaa America, Black AND White!!! And Red and Yellow for that matter.
The Fostys have pictures, dates, and living witnesses; what else do they need in order to recognize this league? This reminds me of the CBL here in the USA. Hope they get their just due.
It's Halifax NOT Halafax, ESPN FAIL!!! Also, Windsor Nova Scotia and the Micmac Indians played a game with heavy influence from the Irish which was developed during the early 1800s. In fact legend says it was named after a Col. Hockey. So Windsor Nova Scotia claims it is the birthplace of hockey.
@vanillafrapp73 The name hockey–as the organized game came to be known–has been attributed to the French word hoquet (shepherd’s stick). Nice try though.
Well, if the CHL was founded in Nova Scotia, it would still make hockey's roots Canadian. Nova Scotia, like the rest of Canada, was built by immigrants. This was a Nova Scotian contribution to Canadian culture.
Whether the weather be hot or whether the weather be cold, we'll weather the weather whatever the weather. Whether we're young or we're old. Whether the weather be cold or whether the weather be hot, we'll weather the weather whatever the weather, whether we like or not.
It's funny because basketball is thought of as a "black" sport but started by whites and hockey's thought of as a "white" sport but started by blacks.
@peezhead ALSO, that It was started by Black AMERICANS, and Basketball a White CANADIAN. But the sports are popular in the opposite nations they were invented.
Damm. I Am Suprised My People Discoverd Hockey Too. We Need To Intergrate All NHL Teams. Seeing Is How We Took Over Basketball, Football And Basball (Okay, So We Lost Some Brothers In That) We Can Do The Same With Hockey.
There are black players in the NHL, just not enough, because hockey isn't the typical "black" sport. Even here in Toronto, black kids are more likely to play basketball, baseball, or football...but many of them play hockey.
Great and important story but it's ironic that a story about getting history wrong does just that. I could be wrong myself but I'm not aware of ANY Underground Railroad connection with Nova Scotia and at most a handful of African-Americans would have come here that way (instead the main destination was Southern Ontario).

It is good to read something positive even though it is late coming. All Americans should be proud of this story regardless of color, gender or age, There were some great people who came before us. I am proud of them all, for they made a way for so many individuals in today's world. Thanks for sharing a wonderful story.

what's sad is that this story had to be brought to light by two white guys's cause if anyone black with the exception of maybe Oprha would have been completely overlooked and dismissed . Welcome to 21rst century America, where you can be black and the President of the US but will catch hell with regards to a hockey issue. Now lets all post this story to some white supremacy sites, who always say that blacks haven't contributed anything to society.

Ironic how one guy says this is bull crap in spite of the picture showing the contrary. Wow, he must've been on the Rodney King jury and missed the asswhooping by 14 cops against one guy in spite of video taped evidence. :-/ Luckily, most people on this post seem to have their heads on their shoulders and not severely stuck in their arse. :-) yaa America, Black AND White!!! And Red and Yellow for that matter.

The Fostys have pictures, dates, and living witnesses; what else do they need in order to recognize this league? This reminds me of the CBL here in the USA. Hope they get their just due.

this is bullcrap, ice hockey originated from a similar ice sport that originally originated from northern europe.

The Fostys are first class historians/documentarians.
Too bad the NHL (and ESPN) wants their work but doesn't want to pay them for it.
Sound familiar?

It's Halifax NOT Halafax, ESPN FAIL!!! Also, Windsor Nova Scotia and the Micmac Indians played a game with heavy influence from the Irish which was developed during the early 1800s. In fact legend says it was named after a Col. Hockey. So Windsor Nova Scotia claims it is the birthplace of hockey.

@vanillafrapp73 The name hockey–as the organized game came to be known–has been attributed to the French word hoquet (shepherd’s stick). Nice try though.

Well, if the CHL was founded in Nova Scotia, it would still make hockey's roots Canadian. Nova Scotia, like the rest of Canada, was built by immigrants. This was a Nova Scotian contribution to Canadian culture.

Wille O Ree was the first in the NHL and Alton White was another Black Player with the WHA. There are a few Black Hockey Players in the NHL today.

I read the book and did my own research it was introduced to black settlers in 1815 by the Mi'kmaq Native Americans.

It's funny because basketball is thought of as a "black" sport but started by whites and hockey's thought of as a "white" sport but started by blacks.

@peezhead ALSO, that It was started by Black AMERICANS, and Basketball a White CANADIAN. But the sports are popular in the opposite nations they were invented.

Damm. I Am Suprised My People Discoverd Hockey Too. We Need To Intergrate All NHL Teams. Seeing Is How We Took Over Basketball, Football And Basball (Okay, So We Lost Some Brothers In That) We Can Do The Same With Hockey.

There are black players in the NHL, just not enough, because hockey isn't the typical "black" sport. Even here in Toronto, black kids are more likely to play basketball, baseball, or football...but many of them play hockey.
