Some historians place the roots of hockey in the chilly climes of northern Europe, specifically Great Britain and France (Canada), where Field Hockey was the most popular summer sport more than 500 years ago. When the ponds and lakes froze in winter, it was not unusual for the athletes who dreamed of the sport to play a version of it on ice. Origins: In 1825 Sir John Franklin wrote that "The game of hockey played on the ice was the morning sport" while on Great Bear Lake during one of his Arctic expeditions. 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."
