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."

The first official game of hockey that was played was in Windsor, Nova Scotia. This was the first time the combined ideas and splinter games, of hurling and shinty focused on ice, were brought together in a game of hockey. First indoor hockey game was over a half a century later in Montreal dating 1875.

It started in Canada when British soldiers were in Nova Scotia. They used their rifles on the ice to knock around what became a puck.
