I'm guessing these are mostly guys who either didn't play when they were younger, or guys who immigrated to Canada later in life and fell in love with the game.
As a visible minority who played organized hockey in the early/mid 90's I'll say that there were barely any visible minority players back then.
I remember playing against the reserve teams were always a battle. They always had a bunch of good players. You might remember guys like Wacy Rabbit and Colton Yellow Horn. Wonder what happened to them. I believe they went on to star in the WHL but nothing really past that.

I know that Wacey went on to have a few successful years in Europe. Was drafted 5th round by Boston I believe.
