Drake and Lebron James continue to executive produce Black Ice!
Back in July of 2021, it was revealed that Drake and LeBron would be executive producing Black Ice. The documentary will explore the history surrounding the early pioneers of the Colored Hockey League in Maritimes Canada all the way to today’s National Hockey League and its paltry number of Black players. Hopefully this will shine a light on the historical marginalization of Black hockey players. Bill Hunter says the claim the Fosty’s have made are “absurd and made in bad faith.” However, Darril Fosty states he and his brother believe the lawsuit is “unwarranted and frivolous.” The brothers will take action through their legal team as Hunter continues to fight for a profit.
The documentary will premiere Saturday, September 10th, at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival.
