Black History Month

We are proud to celebrate Black History Month - as part of our Unity Games series - to highlight the impact and legacy of our Black athletes and communities on and off the ice.

The vibrant artwork featured on our Black History Month logo is created by Kezna Dalz, a Montréal-based multidisciplinary artist. Known for her bold use of color and ability to transform difficult subjects into accessible and inviting imagery, Kezna’s unique artistic style captures the spirit of resilience, community, and joy that resonates throughout Black history and culture — on and off the ice.
