What percentage of blacks are in the NHL?

Answer 1

There are an estimated 41.1 million black persons in the United States. There are currently 19 black NHL players. Simple math will tell us that 19/41,100,000 = 0.0000462% of black Americans are in the NHL. However, not all black NHL players are American. So the number is even less.

The estimated amount of black Americans in the NHL is less than 0.0000462%.
