Although modern-day Field Hockey did have its origins in Britain, the game of Ice Hockey was first played by British troops in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, as a variation of field hockey... The first game was played by the troops on ice with field hockey sticks and a round ball.

In 1825 Sir John Franklin (while on Great Bear Lake during one of his Arctic expeditions) wrote: "The game of hockey played on the ice was the morning sport."

And in 1843, a British Army officer in Kingston, Ontario, wrote: "Began to skate this year, improved quickly and had great fun at hockey on the ice."
