Ice Hockey:
It is believed that Ice hockey evolved from the games played during the pre-Christian times in Europe like the Irish and the Scottish and versions of field hockey. But the origin of the modern game is traced back to the 1800s in Canada. Montreal played a significant role in the development of Ice Hockey in the late 1800s in Montreal.
The first organized indoor game
at Montreal’s
Victoria Skating Rink between two nine-player teams on the 3rd March in 1875.
The games
in 1876 in Montreal were based on
the rules of the English field hockey organisation, the Hockey Association. The
first Ice hockey club, The McGill University Hockey Club,
in
1877. In the United States, Yale University and Johns Hopkins University
their first ice hockey
matches in 1893.
In 1910, the National Hockey Association (NHA) was formed in Montreal. The NHA established a few rules like dropping the rover position, dividing the game into three 20-minute periods, and introducing major and minor penalties. After re-organizing as the National Hockey League in 1917, the league expanded into the United States, starting with the Boston Bruins in 1924. Hockey is another sport in which early development took place as much in college as it did in professional leagues.
