Official Trailer for Canadian Doc 'Black Ice' About Black Hockey Players

"This is our sport." Roadside Attractions has revealed the official US trailer for a documentary film titled Black Ice, about Black hockey players. Of course this first premiered in Canada last year, playing at both the 2022 Toronto Film Festival (winning the People's Choice Award) & Vancouver Film Festival, opening in February up in Canadian cinemas. It's now set for a July release in AMC Theaters. The doc film exposes a history of racism in hockey through the untold stories of Black hockey players, both past and present, in a predominantly white sport. Hubert Davis' doc Black Ice masterfully navigates the challenges, triumphs, and unique experiences faced by these athletes through poignant firsthand accounts from Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) hockey players past, including Willie O'Ree, the very first Black player in the NHL, and former professional hockey player Akim Aliu, with the stories of present stars, including P.K. Subban and Wayne Simmonds. Reviews have all been positive, saying: "It's a well-told story that’s likely unknown even to most diehard hockey fans, but absolutely demands telling." This looks great - check it out. // Continue Reading ›
