Oh dear, wrong there. Hockey, or "field hockey" as it was known, has
been played in England and in France for more than 500 years, in summer
being played on dry land and in winter on frozen ponds and lakes. The
ice version spread to Holland in the 17th century, where it was known
as "Kolven", in England as "Bandy" and in Ireland as "Hurley".


The earliest North American games were played in Halifax, Nova Scotia,
where British soldiers stationed there were reported to have
organized contests on frozen ponds in and around that city in the
1870s, and about that same time in Montreal students from McGill
University began facing off against each other on a ice rink. The
continent's first ice hockey league was started in Kingston, Ontario,
in 1885, and it had four teams.

All good things come from Europe... ;-)
