This chapter traces the formation of the Black Girl Hockey Club (BGHC) by founder Renee Hess, illustrating how personal passion, digital networks, and strategic coalition-building converged to create a pioneering space for Black women in hockey. Renee’s fandom emerged from online engagements and was shaped by decolonial feminist strategies that challenged exclusionary sporting cultures. Her entry into hockey fandom, facilitated through WhatsApp groups, social media, and interactions with NHL figures, reveals how joy, care, and intentional community-building can serve as powerful tools of resistance. Renee’s story highlights how BGHC redefines sport fandom as a site of Black feminist praxis, one that centres safety, kinship, representation, and racial justice. It also examines the tensions of institutional partnerships, media attention, and the navigation of “acceptable” Black activism in predominantly white spaces like the NHL. The chapter concludes by documenting BGHC’s operational growth, transnational reach, and its evolving role as both a joyful fan space and a platform for racial equity in hockey.
