Willie O'Ree was the 1st "NHL" player in 1957-58.
Herbert H. (Herb) Carnegie was one of the first good black hockey players before Willie O'Ree. But never made it to the NHL. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb_Carnegie
Some of the first black hockey players ever were freed railroad workers in Nova Scotia from the early 1900's. They even had their own league.
