Ironically, Val James, who grew up in Hauppauge on Long Island, is the first American born black player in the NHL, when he played for the Buffalo Sabres during the 1981-1982 season. He also played several seasons with the Rochester Americans in the early/mid 1980's. Val James Hockey Stats and Profile at hockeydb.com

There's also this Williamsville native that currently plays for the Utica Comets, also in the AHL: Justin Bailey | Utica Comets Official Website (son of former Bills linebacker Carlton Bailey)

So, there is a history in relation to Hockey.
