Everything to do with British soldiers:

http://www.all-sports-posters.com/historyoficehockey.html

"The earliest North American games were played in Canada. British
soldiers stationed in Halifax, Nova Scotia, 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."


I suppose someone will now come up with a website claiming it as
"Indian"... ;-)
