Hockey history in Canada is dominated by the contributions of the NHL, and before that the European influences that forged the game we know today. But there's an entire other side of hockey's history that has been largely forgotten.
Decades before there even was an NHL there was the Colored Hockey League, a group of 12 teams comprised of African-Canadian players from across the Maritimes. This league pioneered many of the most used techniques in hockey today, while rising to levels of popularity that were largely unheard of for Black leagues at the turn of the 20th century. Until politics, war, and changing societal factors brought about the end of the league, and its near erasure from history.
