The Quebec Aces were a professional hockey franchise that played in various leagues, including the American Hockey League, between 1928 and 1971. As of 1967, the team was affiliated with the Philadelphia Flyers, a team in the National Hockey League. The Aces came to an end in 1971. The team won the Allan Cup in 1944, the Alexander Cup in 1952 and the Edinburgh Trophy in 1957. Among its greatest players was Jean Béliveau, future star of the Montreal Canadiens.

The Quebec Aces celebrate in 1952 after winning the Alexander Cup, the top award in Canadian senior hockey. In the middle of this team portrait is player Herbert Carnegie. Born in Toronto to Jamaican parents, Carnegie played for the Aces from 1949 to 1953. Québec City thus had the honour of welcoming this sports pioneer, the first Black Canadian hockey star!
