NBA superstar LeBron James, Drake and Maverick Carter are set to executive produce Black Ice, a feature documentary about the game of hockey’s racial reckoning.

The film from Uninterrupted Canada and The SpringHill Company, which was founded by James and business partner Carter, is about Black hockey players facing systemic racism in the sport and will be directed by Oscar nominee Hubert Davis. Black Ice will spotlight the historical marginalization of Black hockey players from the early pioneers of the Colored Hockey League in Maritimes Canada to today’s National Hockey League and its paltry number of Black players.

“I think it is more important than ever before for all generations, particularly young people of color, to understand and see the diverse faces who have contributed and shaped one the essential fabrics of our country,” Davis said of hockey, Canada’s national pastime. Black Ice has started production with pro hockey players Zayde Wisdom and Wayne Simmonds taking part.

Homie don't do hockey

Saw a documentary on Canadian Jr Hockey. It's brutal and cut throat. It's not racism, it's physical and psychological warfare.
