And then, you have the Colored Hockey League (CHL) also, known as the Colored Hockey League of the Maritimes (CHLM), which predates the NHL by 22 years. Historically speaking, the league, in the words of George and Darril Fosty, co-authors of Black Ice: The Lost History of the Colored Hockey League of the Maritimes, 1895-1925 , was “like no other hockey or sports league before or since.” One might rightfully ask, what made the CHL unique or so special? Hockey officials crowned them the Maritime Hockey League Champions without holding a structured playoff tournament to determine the champion. Back in 2022, Uninterrupted Canada released the documentary BLACK ICE which is based on the the Fosty brothers’ iconic book BLACK ICE.
