I believe the first kind of hockey was played on feet, not skates, it was called shinny. They played with some type of wooden block (similar to a puck), or some type of ball. An unlimited amount of people played.
The oldest type of hockey is Field Hockey. There is an ancient Greek frieze depicting two field hockey players at Olympia, Greece.
