Calgary Flames superstar right winger Jarome Arthur-Leigh Adekunle Tig Junior Elvis Iginla is the shining light in a sport that has literally known no Darkness. To many Blacks in the United States the sport of hockey falls in the same category as NASCAR or any sport that we have yet to dominate. Iginla is hockey’s first true dominant Black player since Edmonton Oilers goalie Grant Fuhr.
And at his current pace he isn’t done spreading his story or dominance throughout the NHL.
