The exact date of hockey's creation is not known, since the first records of it date to around 4000 years ago. However the main issue is that some people do not know the history of the sport's development; consequently, they assume (particularly in America) that "hockey" refers only to ice hockey and that was developed first, and then state that "hockey was invented in XYZ year" while almost everybody else assumes they refer to field hockey - even though they may be correct for that particular variant, it does not give a true record for all others.
