In the second year of the NHL Black Hockey History Tour mobile museum, Valley hockey fans will get an opportunity to learn about black achievement in hockey.

The museum will make a stop at Tempe Marketplace on March 15 and Gila River Arena on March 16 as part of the journey across 14 NHL cities to celebrate Black History Month 2020.

Every black player in NHL history will be represented in the museum.

“The NHL has a rich history of black and other minority players who have helped shape the game and create memories for fans worldwide,” Kim Davis, an NHL executive, said in a press release. “We’re proud to share and bring these stories of trailblazers, from Willie O’Ree to today’s superstars, directly to fans in NHL cities coast-to-coast-to-coast.”

O’Ree, the first black player to play in the NHL and ambassador of NHL Diversity and Hockey is For Everyone, will make a appearance at select tour stops. It is unclear if O’Ree will visit the Valley with the tour.

The mobile museum is dedicated to celebrating the biggest moments and milestones involving black hockey players, including the first black NHL player, first captain and first black player inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

In addition to the Valley, the museum will visit Washington, Detroit, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Ottawa, Toronto, New Jersey, Nashville, Anaheim, Los Angeles, San Jose, Dallas and Seattle, which will begin play in the 2021-22 season.

In the inaugural year, the tour only visited six cities; New York, New Jersey, Nashville, Tampa Bay, Philadelphia and Washington.

The time for the stops in Tempe and Glendale have yet to be announced.
