Historians George and Darril Fosty make a strong case in their book, Black Ice, that modern hockey was invented by African-American sons and grandsons of slaves in the late 19th century.
They've found extensive proof in old newspaper articles in Nova Scotia, where the slaves escaped to via the Underground Railroad, that there was something called the Colored Hockey League that existed from about 1895 to just past World War I. They also make the claim that, at the very least, the modern slap shot was first used in this league.
Despite all the evidence, however, you won't find a word about the Colored Hockey League in the Hockey Hall of Fame, although the Fosty brothers did meet with NHL officials last month to unveil their findings.
