The History of the Colored Hockey League

The colored hockey league wasn't just a league it was an independent black civil institution in Nova Scotia. There was a black middle class in Halifax there was families like the tailors and the browns and the carburys who actually owned businesses in Halifax. Many of them were educated they had been educated through the churches and and public schools so what you have is a high literacy among the black community higher than other areas in North America. The power and the wealth of this community starting to rise up and I think that ties to the fact that this league existed because when you're living hand of mouth and trying to survive you're not playing sports.
