A Trailblazer in Ice Hockey
Alton White stands as a monumental figure in the annals of ice hockey history, celebrated for his pioneering achievements as one of the first players of African descent to grace the professional ice hockey scene.

His legacy is immortalized in the form of the Providence Reds jersey, a piece of hockey memorabilia that echoes his remarkable journey.
