N.S. brothers going head-to-head to honour Colored Hockey League

Two Nova Scotia brothers will go head-to-head Saturday in a commemorative game to mark the 128th anniversary of the Colored Hockey League.

Percy Paris and John Paris Jr. will be honorary coaches in the Colored Hockey League of the Maritimes Memorial Game, which is being held at the RBC Centre in Dartmouth.

The league, which saw teams from all over the Maritimes playing mainly on lakes and outdoor rinks, started in 1895. Nearly 130 years later, all-Black players will suit up as members of the Halifax Eurekas and Dartmouth Jubilees — the two teams to play in the first official CHL game.

That first game ended in a tie. This year, bragging rights will be on the line, as the teams celebrate the CHL and Black contributors to Canada's game.
