The origin of Ice Hockey is unknown, however, ice hockey probaly evolved from the game of Field Hockey that has been played in Northern Europe for centuries.
The rules of modern ice hockey were devised by Canadian J G A Creighton. In 1875, the first game of ice hockey with Creighton's rules was played in Montreal, Canada.
Hockey originated in Windsor, Canada in the 1800's.
If you're talking about Ice Hockey..
Most believe that the game of ice hockey evolved from stick-and-ball games, played outdoors, and adapted to the icy conditions of Canada in the 19th century. The games of British soldiers and immigrants to Canada, influenced by stick-and-ballgames of First Nations, evolved to become a game played on ice skates, often played with a puck, and played with sticks made by the Mi'kmaq of Nova Scotia. The name of hockey itself has no clear origin, though the first known mention of the word 'hockey' in English dates to 1799 in England.
Hockey has been around for as long as 4000 years ago 1917-1918 was the first hockey season ever
