History:
Hockey started around the 1850's when Nova Scotia had an idea when he saw some people hitting a wooden or cork ball with a branch on ice. Then about 20 years later the first organized game of hockey was played in Montreal, Canada. Then James Creighton wrote the first rules of hockey, which were called the "Halifax Rules." Then in 1892 Lord Stanley an English Governer General of Canada was impressed about hockey that he made a silver bowl, which is now know as the Stanley Cup. The Stanley Cup was for every year the best team in Canada would get it. Then in 1904 the first professional hockey league was made in the United States.
