Joshua Ho-Sang (born January 22, 1996) is a Canadian ice hockey player, and a prospect of the New York Islanders. He currently plays for the Niagara IceDogs of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). Ho-Sang was selected by the Islanders in the first round (28th overall) of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. The ''Toronto Sun'' described him in June 2014 as a "singular hockey player of immense talent, caught on an island of discourse." He said of himself: "I'm more emotional than most people. That poses a problem for the hockey world. A lot of players are trained to hold their emotions.... I love to dangle. I love to play an offensive game. I love to celebrate when I score."〔Steve Simmons (June 24, 2014).

His hometown is Thornhill, Ontario, a Toronto suburb.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Josh Ho-Sang; Niagara IceDogs )〕 He said he has "always celebrated the Jewish holidays like Chanukah and the High Holidays with family and friends." When he was 17 years old, ''Toronto Sun'' writer Steve Simmons, an expert on Jews in hockey, predicted that he “might be better than all” the previous Jewish ice hockey players (which included the then-current Jewish NHL players center Mike Cammalleri, right winger Mike Brown, left winger Eric Nystrom, and center Jeff Halpern). His father, Wayne, is a black Jamaican professional tennis player from Kingston, Jamaica, whose grandfather is Chinese from Hong Kong. His business analyst mother Ericka is Jewish and was born in Santiago, Chile, to Russian and Swedish parents.〔〔〔Craig Custance (June 25, 2014).
