Film Screening: Soul On Ice: Past, Present & Future (2015)
SOUL ON ICE is the rarely-told story of black players in hockey, a sport often seen as whiter than the ice it’s played upon. At the heart of the film is Jaden Lindo, a young man pursuing his lifelong dream to play in the NHL, accompanied by interviews with P.K. Subban, Wayne Simmonds, Anson Carter, Joel Ward, Trevor Daley, Tony McKegney, five-time Stanley Cup winner Grant Fuhr, and more.
