The golden era of all-Black hockey was between 1900 and 1905, when games often outdrew those of "white-only" leagues, but teams continued to play for the Colored Hockey Championship until the 1930s. The Colored Hockey League of the Maritimes (CHL) was an all-Black men's hockey league. Organized by Black Baptists and Black intellectuals, it was founded in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1895.
It was defunct during and after the First World War, reformed in 1921 and then fell apart during the Depression in the 1930s. As we celebrate Black History Month, we look at the Colored Hockey League, which began play in 1895, more than 20 years before the NHL. A new stamp has been released in Canada that honors the Colored Hockey Championship and the all.
