Val James
Valmore Curtis James (born February 14, 1957) is a retired American professional ice hockey left winger, as well as defenseman, who played 2 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Buffalo Sabres and Toronto Maple Leafs. ==Early life== James was born in Ocala, Florida and raised on Long Island, New York. It was on Long Island that James began skating and playing ice hockey in Commack where his father was employed as the manager of an ice rink. James was the first American-born black man to play in the NHL when he debuted with the Sabres, although he was not the first black player. He was preceded by several black Canadians, starting with Willie O'Ree. While James was the first American-born black man to play in the NHL, he was not the first exclusively U.S.-trained black man in the league; that milestone did not occur until , when Mike Grier made his NHL debut. James was the first native-born Floridian to play in the NHL.〔http://www.hockey-reference.com/friv/birthplaces.cgi?country=US&province=&state=FL〕
