A junior star out of Port Arthur, Steve Black joined the Detroit Red Wings in the 1949/50 season. He had apprenticed the previous two pro seasons with the St. Louis Flyers.

Black was mostly a reserve player on a Red Wings team that would capture the Stanley Cup in the spring of 1950. Black contributed 7 goals and 21 points in 69 regular season games. He skated in 13 of Detroit's 14 playoff games, but failed to register a single point.

Black was traded to Chicago Black Hawks by Detroit Red Wings with Lee Fogolin Sr. for Bert Olmstead and Vic Stasiuk, Dec. 10, 1950. He would score just 4 goals and 10 points in 39 games to end the season. He was later dispatched out west where he played out his hockey days in Calgary, retiring in 1954.

Black returned to Ontario following his hockey career. From 1955 through 1985 he worked with the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. He died in Thunder Bay in 2008.
