@luridplanet not the reason. there are very few rinks in areas with large numbers of African Americans. even thos who are upper middle class. Also, when your parents don't play a sport you are less likely to play that sport... Hockey is more popular in the north while Most African americans have traditionally lives at the Mason Dixon or below, with the exception of some of the larger cities in the North.

@luridplanet i played one season as a kid because of the price of playin, i agree on that, but you have to remember, blacks prefer the warm to the cold, the whites dont mind because thats there heritage, 2nd they are more interested in other sports e.g basketball for its big black community within the sport. alot of the black people who play are from canada and are bi-racial with a white parent and are brought up with the white culture.

im white, and personally i think all colours should be able to compete in any sport they choose, alot of black people athletically exceed well and have good drive. I find it bizarre for an Negro to become soo involed in such a white european strong sport, plus most black people I know hate the cold and dont have much interested in winter sports like iceskating or skiing or anything like that. But i have soo much respect for this guy, imagine being the ONLY black guy in the freekin NHL, SCARY!

robinson recognized him....... that made me smile

I'm white, and would have loved to play hockey when I was a kid, but it was just too expensive. That's one reason why there are so few black players. How much is it just for the gear? $2,000?
