Max and Jackson Dorrington said most of their teammates and coaches didn't know that their family is part of hockey history.

The Dorrington brothers are distant cousins of the late Art Dorrington, who became the first Black player to sign an NHL contract when he joined the New York Rangers organization in 1950. Max and Jackson are continuing the legacy of Dorrington, who died on Dec. 29, 2017 at the age of 87, by playing elite-level hockey with hopes of someday reaching the NHL.
