Join the Discussion. Ash Feb 10, Ice Hockey, the fastest and most exciting winter game in the world, got its start on the east coast, in Windsor, Nova Scotia. After developing for seventy-five years in Nova Scotia, it began to spread to the west coast; a trip which was to take an amazing fifteen years.
Ice Hockey was not invented, nor did it start on a certain day of a particular year. Over a period of decades, Ice Hurley gradually developed into Ice Hockey. This is the earliest reference in English literature of a stick-ball game being played on ice in Canada. Haliburton, who wrote the first history of Nova Scotia, was the first Canadian to acquire international acclaim as a writer, and the account of his recollection is therefore of great significance. They carried the game to Halifax, where it gained impetus as it was played on the many and beautiful Dartmouth Lakes, and frozen inlets of Halifax Harbour.
To quote Thomas H. Over the years, the origin of the game has been misunderstood all across the nation and false claims have been made of the game beginning in both Kingston , Ontario and Montreal. These were based on faulty information which resulted from incomplete research. Decades earlier, people knew from whence the game had come. The roots of the game apparently were lost in the intervening years leading up to the s, because in when the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association accepted the report of a research committee charged with determining the origin of Ice Hockey, and named Kingston as the Birthplace of Hockey, an error was made, inasmuch as the committee members had not looked back to Montreal where the game was played eleven years earlier, let alone further east to Nova Scotia where it began eight decades before.
Had they checked newspapers in the public archives, they easily would have determined that Windsor is the birthplace, and Nova Scotia is the growth-place of the game. McColl is credited by RMC students with teaching them the game, with hockey sticks and hockey skates brought from Nova Scotia. Shinty was played in other places at the same time, including Nova Scotia. Even with stiff competition at the international level, Canadians still claim that ice hockey is a product of their country.
What if researchers have been able to provide evidence to the contrary? However, with a number of people wondering where hockey began, evidence points to the United Kingdom as the home to the earliest roots of hockey.
Windsor, Nova Scotia, even managed to get the Ministry of Transport to put up a highway sign saying it was the birthplace of hockey.
Kingston claimed to be the birthplace of hockey. Halifax, Deline — in the Northwest Territories — all these places claimed hockey. Everybody in Canada has a claim to hockey, and you can find one, or two, or perhaps three references supporting each claim. But then you look at England, and all of a sudden there are hundreds and hundreds of references to hockey being played all over the country — some dating back as far as the s. It took place at Victoria Skating Rink on March 3, , with two teams of nine players each.
James Creighton organized the game and even captained one of the teams. While it is documented as the first indoor organized game of hockey in Canada, all signs point to Europe as the birth place of the beloved game — controversial or not.
Along with Martel, who is a full-time computer analyst, Swedes Carl Giden a physician and Patrick Houda a journalist joined Martel in uncovering the truth about who invented hockey.
As mentioned, their research reveals the possibility that the first game could date back as far as the s in Britain. They discovered that the name — hockey — likely came from the cork they used as a puck.
