About BLACK ICE
Directed by Oscar nominee Hubert Davis (Hardwood) and executive produced by LeBron James, Drake, and Maverick Carter, this incisive and urgent film explores the role of Black players in Canadian hockey, from pre-NHL contributions to the game to the struggles against racism that continue to this day.

Featuring testimonies from an incredible roster of players, including Akim Aliu, Sarah Nurse, Saroya Tinker, Mark Connors, Wayne Simmonds, and P.K. Subban, Black Ice is a sobering survey of systemic marginalization within one of the world’s most beloved team sports. Their stories are eye-opening and often painful, but their bravery in sharing their stories, along with their faith in the fundamental beauty and excitement of hockey, infuse Black Ice with a galvanizing sense of hope for a more inclusive future.
