Ice Hockey

Ice Hockey originated around 1800 at King's College in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. The students adapted the field game of Hurley to the ice and originated a new winter game called Ice Hurley. Over the ensuing decades, Ice Hurley gradually developed into Ice Hockey, first by the soldiers at Fort Edward, in Windsor, who brought the game with them to Halifax, Kingston, and Montreal.
