How come blacks don't like hockey?

go Blackhawks!!!!!!!
In the hood I don't know. I know some of US growing up played on ice, in doors, on teams. We played because we loved to play and have fun.
The problem isn't equipment, the problem is ice. A naturally occurring ***SAFE*** ice surface is limited to a very small area of the country and an artificial ice surface is VERY expensive to build and maintain. Roller hockey would be a lot more likely, but then it competes with a myriad of other sports and you are a LOT more likely to get consensus for a game of hoops, baseball or touch football than you are roller hockey.
I grew up in an all black suburb and every kid on my street was in the ice hockey league at one point. Every kid on the street had their stick and full compliment of equipment (as someone mentioned earlier, the equipment can be gotten fairly cheap used). Later, as funds began to diminish in the community, the rink was shut down and not another word about hockey was uttered. There are still many leagues in the area, but they are priced out of the reach of MOST people (black and white).
Swimming/ Diving
Gymnastics
Hockey
Figure skating
Skiing/ Ski jumping
Equestrian sports
Golf (although many public courses offer fairly reasonable green fees and club rental rates on weekdays, but BUYING equipment and getting good at golf is EXPENSIVE).
...All of the above sports are dependent on either finances or access (or both) to really get into them, sports like football, baseball, basketball, soccer and track and field generally are not.
Even bowling to a certain lesser degree is limited by access and finances.

I generally like sports that I can do/attempt or have done. I can't skate, hate the cold and enjoy my teeth.

It was invented (the version you see now in the NHL) by so-called blacks. (Aboriginal Americans from Nova Scotia)Now, I'm a big hockey fan myself, and I don't understand why blacks don't like hockey. Is it because it's not dominated by blacks, or it's too cold. I'm just curious...
There is so much history not known by people on this site, it is sad, considering the amount of old heads.
Bro we did not invent hockey but we did create the slapshot. I was a monster growing up. I mean, a nigga was the black wayne gretzky.
Got into a little bit when the CAPS was on there run.. Nothing wrong with the sport.. More luck involved though than any other sport.. And die hard hockey fans will agree with that..
Most people get into sports that they are exposed to as a kid... Hockey shit is expensive and the access to a hockey rink is limited... Like someone else mentioned here.. MOST WHITES dont even watch hockey.. its a very niche sport..

It's not the game itself, brothas would dominate anything but the only thing holding everyone back is the actual skating part. Niccas don't ice skate.
Never in my LIFE have I EVER heard one of the homies say "Ahh my nicca, let's go ice skating tonight and get some bishes!"

You probably right, I'm only speaking for the states (well Cali to be exact since that's where I'm at)
It definitely depends where you grew up. If you're somewhere up north where lakes freeze solid during the winter, you best believe you're playing hockey. Can't say the same for folks in the souf.
Because Hockey or rather the people that usually end up playing that sport don't like black people....
-I've only heard of a hand full of blacks that actually played the sport
-Remember that black guy that was blind sighted by that white Hockey player and they banned him for life cause that black player had brain damage.
-The fans,them cac are brutal like in a lot of sports but their hatred for a player is deep rooted in racism like in a lot of sports where whites or others are the majority.

So I guess should already have %50 of your answer. And are you sure that you are "white/black" and not "black/white"..?, and for the record, im mixed (white/black),
