Breaking the Ice: The Black Experience in Professional Hockey by Cecil Harris

Black hockey players from Grant Fuhr to Jarome Iginla speak candidly for the first time about their experiences in the NHL. Since 1958, thirty-seven black men have played in the National Hockey League. Out of the 600 players active today, fourteen are black. Breaking the Ice: The Black Experience in Professional Hockey is the first book to tell the unique stories of black hockey players — how they overcame or succumbed to racial and cultural prejudices to play Canada's favourite pastime.
