First Nations Hockey Players traces the deep roots of ice hockey within Indigenous communities, from the Mi'kmaq Nation's early games in 17th-century Nova Scotia to the emergence of trailblazers on the NHL stage.

The book profiles Fred Sasakamoose, the first Native athlete in the NHL, alongside legends from Inuit, Ojibwa, Mohawk, Metis and Cree nations. Their stories reveal talent, perseverance and cultural pride as they overcame barriers on and off the ice.

Readers will meet modern heroes such as Jonathan Cheechoo, Carey Price, Sheldon Souray and Jordin Tootoo, and learn how each player’s heritage shaped their journey in professional hockey.

Inside You’ll Discover:

  • Early hockey traditions of the Mi'kmaq people
  • Biographical sketches of NHL pioneers like Fred Sasakamoose
  • Profiles of celebrated Indigenous players across decades
  • The cultural significance of hockey in First Nations communities
