Best Answer

As far as I can determine , the game played on ice has always been referred to as "hockey". According to hockey historians, the name might have been an English version of the French word "hoquet" (shepherd's crook) or the Dutch word "hokkie" ( shack or goal). The game itself probably combined elements of European games such as hurling, shinty and Field Hockey plus the North American native game of Lacrosse.
