Ice HockeyWhy It’s So Canadian
By Nick & Cledis
Hockey History Ice hockey was invented in Canada European immigrants brought different versions of hockey-like games to
North America like: Hurling (an Irish sport) Shinty (a Scottish sport) Versions of field hockey (played in England)
The first known set of ice hockey rules were drawn up in the early 1870’s by students at Montreal's McGill University These rules established the number of players per side to 9 and replaced the ball with
a square puck. On March 3, 1875 the first organized indoor game was played at
Montreal's Victoria Skating Rink by James George Aylwin Creighton and several McGill University students
Hockey History (cont.)
In 1892, recognizing that there was no gratitude for the best team in all of Canada he purchased a decorative bowl for use as a trophy which we now know today as the Stanley Cup
Winnipeg hockey players had included cricket pads to protect the goaltender's legs.
They also introduced the "scoop" shot which we now know as the wrist shot.
