<DIV =Text>The Detroit Red Wings and the Chicago Blackhawks aren't going to be the only hockey players skating on the ice at Wrigley Field on New Year's Day for the Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic.

The auxiliary rink, located slightly further in the outfield than the main rink, will host three teams of eight youth hockey players.

The NHL's diversity program, in conjunction with the Blackhawks, is making sure that when the Hawks and Wings aren't battling it out, fans are going to be treated to some youth hockey.

"We've invited 10 kids from our diversity program in Chicago," NHL Manager of Diversity Programming Robert Wooley told NHL.com. "We support two programs in the Chicago area. One's in Evanston and the other is through the AI diversity program. It's basically kids from all over the Chicago area. It's a pretty diverse group of kids spanning from Hispanics, Asians, African-Americans to white kids. So, it's a pretty diverse group of kids playing hockey. (snip)

Screw em, I watched the Winter classic from beginning to end and there was very little diversity, unless you consider Billy Williams and Fergie Jenkins pre-game introductions. It was classic white winter sports. Our people playing a game we cherish and love at the highest levels with representatives from all our 'tribes'. Slavs, Swedes, Germans, French, Anglo's all together playing a sport that requires athleticism, skill, and toughness. I didn't watch a minute of the caste-crap New Year Bowl games when there was such better entertainment going on!!

Agreed. What b.s. I saw one black face in the crowd...yeah that is diversity. It is a white man's sport, just like all the others were. I just hope hockey doesn't fall prey to untalented & over paid non-whites. "Hey NY Yankees' fans, what has A-Rod done for your team lately?!!"

There's no way in hell Blacks will ever like Hockey!!!!

They hate the cold, they can't skate!!!!

Just like they can't ski, can't snowboard, can't swim!!!!

They hate the ice and water, that's white man's territory!!

The same is true for Chicanos and Asians, get off the ice, it's our territory!!!!

The sport of ice-skating itself is Euro-centric in nature. Its was invented roughly a thousand years ago by Scandinavians as a means of ice-travel. Conversely, the Negro race on the other hand is NOT anatomically designed for skating being that they derive from a completely different climate.

To sum it up, the only real talented brutha in the NHL is Jarome Iginla, and he is MORE than half White. Look at his features, his speech patterns and his overall behavior. There's nothing typically "black" about him really. He was lucky enough have the White gene be the dominant of the two. More like a White guy with a tan.

Just look at any black player in league and how sloppy and incorrect their skating stride is:

Peter Worrell - useless goon, could barely stand erect.
Donald Brashear - should have been a boxer, but can't skate.
Jean Luc Grand-Pierre - as knock-kneed as they come.
Georges Laraque - nice guy, just sucks. He's only there to fight.
Mike Grier - Not a horrible player, just a really goofy skater.
Nigel Dawes - The Rangers finally smartened up and cut him.
Claude Vilgrain - played for the Devils in the late 80's/early 90's. Scored a whopping TWO NHL goals.

The list is a little longer, but quite frankly, I don't have the patience for it.

Anson Carter is the only blackforward I remember who could skate decently, other than Iginla, but he was nothing special in the NHL although the pundits kept predicting stardom for him. There's been a couple black defensemen who were serviceable, but again nothing more than journeyman types.

Hockey Night in Canada was pimping Dustin Byfuglien hard in last nights Vancouver-Chicago game 1. He totally sucks, but every time he stepped on the ice, there was always a close up of his nappy head.
