“Like, this realization when you’re younger that, ‘Oh, people look at me differently than they look at themselves.’ When she said that line, I thought, ‘Oh, I understand that,'” Davis added. “I remember having that experience around the same age.”Tinker, a 24-year-old defender entering her second season with the Premier Hockey Federation’s Toronto Six, features prominently from start to finish in the film.
“My dad’s the reason I play hockey,” Tinker said. “Just knowing how he felt out of place — he played hockey growing up and he kind of got pushed out of the sport, never really played at a high level, just because of all the racism that he faced growing up in Scarborough.“In that sense, I wanted him to be involved. I wanted him to be able to tell his story of how he’s experienced hockey through myself and my brothers and himself.
Similarly, relatively few Black players are in the Hockey Hall of Fame, with former Quebec Aces standout Herb Carnegie only being inducted 68 years after the end of his playing career .
