That's very true. Another question is why are all hockey players white. Well, they are not all white. I've seen a couple of games in the National Hockey League that had an African-American (or were they African-Canadian?) player.
There was one player who played for the Washington Capitals in 2002-2003. His name was Mike Grier, a real good player, but he bounced around a few times. He scored a shorthanded goal against Phoenix when I traveled to Phoenix to see them play the Capitals in December 2002.
