      no Retweeted NHL

      people joke about hockey's whiteness but the Coloured Hockey League predates the NHL and introduced the fast & furious gamestyle we see today (including invention of the slap shot) that made them more popular than the white leagues until racism forced them to disband in the '30shttps://twitter.com/NHL/status/1274000088034168834 …

      This #Juneteenth, we celebrate the Coloured Hockey League. Founded in Nova Scotia in 1895, the league was formed by the sons and grandsons of escaped slaves, whose innovations helped create hockey as we know it today. pic.twitter.com/tBmoSoxrNB

      then, the government wanted to destroy africville (a black nova scotian town) with their railway plan. during this legal battle, they barred them from local arenas which they were previously allowed to use after the white leagues finished playing

      they were forced to use pond rinks again and at that point they simply couldn't afford to operate anymore eventually the new NHL took the news by storm and the CHL and all it did to change hockey into the sport we watch now was buried 🙂
