It's not because of racism. Africa, the Caribbean, and the southern US are very warm, skating is not their thing.  Black migrants also typically come from poor counties and don't have a lot of money to spend on hockey equipment for their kids.

Do you think there's racism in hockey?

No it is because of racism, potentially... they don't like hockey because they don't like whites right ?

1. What percentage of each race should be playing hockey? 
2. Do you ever think that many other areas in the world just don't like it?  That it's not part of their culture? 
3. Also, why is it fine for White players to be a small minority in some sports but not ok if it's the reverse?
1. It should be 100% even or disband the NHL
2. That's racism
3. It's not.  You should be playing basketball right now.  It's racism.

Canada loses their 1st game…l. But a great game played by Canada.  Outplayed the #2 ranked team in the world, but just couldn’t put one past the keeper.

It was racism...

No,  we need perfect racial parity in sport equal to the racial breakdown of the general population, otherwise clearly racism exists.  Other variables like geography, culture, economics etc don't matter.

Agree 100%.  And every team needs a troll who skates around with a Nixon mask and dirty underwear on...

They hates whites so it's racism either way.  And whites hates black and there's double racism...

No, they have less exposure to ice and less access to gear due to economics.  There's a practical reason why eastern and Northern Europeans embraced the sport and Africans didn't.

I'm sure racism is a minor barrier, but not the primary factor.  I have a South Asian friend with kids in hockey.   No reports of racism yet.

Not any more disgusting than sports leagues taking money from China.

China isn't completely propped up by the West the way the Saudis are.
