Ice Hockey - Clearwater, British Columbia - Murals on Waymarking.com

"Ice hockey is believed to have evolved from simple stick and ball games played in the 18th and 19th centuries in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Scotland and elsewhere.

The contemporary sport of ice hockey was developed in Canada, most notably in Montreal, where the first indoor hockey game was played on March 3, 1875. Amateur ice hockey leagues began in the 1880s, and professional ice hockey originated around 1900. The Stanley Cup, emblematic of ice hockey club supremacy, was first awarded in 1893 to recognize the Canadian amateur champion and later became the championship trophy of the NHL.


In the early 1900s, the Canadian rules were adopted by the Ligue Internationale de Hockey Sur Glace. Ice hockey was played for the first time at the Olympics during the 1920 Summer Olympics." Source: Wikipedia
