Most of the program’s participants, who must be residents of Harlem or Upper Manhattan, are black and Hispanic. Ice Hockey in Harlem is one of several programs across the country, including the Fort Dupont program in Washington D.C., the Snider Hockey program in Philadelphia, and the Detroit Ice Dreams, focused on increasing black and minority participation in ice hockey.
