Having fun Mr. Guest Man?

[donjohnsson]

I'm suprised that no one hasn't tryed Wayne Grezky or Howe.
On forum from states that could happend..

[OILERS ROCK]

Well if you want to go with great players try Joe Malone instead. Gretzky, Howe, and Bobby Orr were all people who changed to game but they didn't invent the game.

The Ice Age Begins

James Creighton is said to be to hockey as Abner Doubleday was to baseball. Creighton helped create the spark that produced the game of hockey in North America and is considered "The Father of Hockey." Creighton took part in the first recognized hockey game of record on March 3, 1875 at the indoor Victoria Rink in Montreal. There were 9 players aside on the 200 x 85 foot ice surface. There was no boards, the puck was made of a circular flat piece of wood, to prevent it from leaving the ice surface and hurting the spectators standing around the surface. There were no nets just two sticks in the ice 8 feet apart and 6 feet high leaving it to the referee and the goal judge to make the goal calls. Creighton was not only the leading force of this historic game, but also a pioneer in taking ice hurley-based on an Irish stick-ball game-from the frozen lakes of Nova Scotia to an organized sport in Montreal when he moved there in 1872, this has led to a debate among historians: Where is the real birthplace of hockey? In one corner is the city of the NHL's most glorified team, Montreal, and in the other a small town on the banks of the Avon River in Atlantic Canada, Windsor , Nova Scotia. Kingston, Ont, between Montreal and Toronto has been labeled the cradle of hockey, but this has become more myth than reality, but could boast the home of the original" Hockey Hall of Fame." James Thomas Sutherland-one of the trailblazers of the game wrote articles in 1924 proclaiming the actual birthpalce of organized hockey is the City of Kingston in 1888. Kingston did become the gateway for hockey as the game made it's way west across Canada. The first puplished report of a seven-aside match was in 1886. it took place on Kingston's frozen harbour-two years before the time Sutherland claimed the game was born. That game was the start of hockey's longest-standing rivalry, between Royal Military College of Canada and Queen's University-the first educational institution to challenge for the Stanley Cup in 1895. In 1941 Sutherland initiated a farcical study through the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, to investigate the games origins. The report was essentially Kingston propoganda and led to the creation of a hockey hall of fame, which was awarded to the city, although the decision was based more on it's location than its claim to the origins of the game. Windsor , Nova Scotia, took over Kingston's challenge to Montreal as the birth place of hockey during the later part of the 20th century. A form of shinny or hurley on ice was played on Nova Scotia Lakes and Rivers in the 1880's. Windsor's Garth Vaughan, proclaims that a form ice hockey was being played around 1800. He based his claim on the writings of author Thomas Chandler Haliburton, who was born in Windsor in 1796 and attended nearby King's College. In 1844 Halibuton wrote about classmates playing "hurley on the long pond on the ice." The story made no mention of the game being played on skates. Another documentation supporting Windsor's claim ran in the Boston Evening Gazette entitled ' Winter Sports in Nova Scotia' that ran in December 1859. The report praised the game "with skates on feet and hurley (sticks) in hand." Windsor is not mentioned in the article and it refers to a ball being used rather than a puck. The early game in N.S. was palyed with 10-20 players aside, but there was never any set rules and the nets were two stones used as posts. Creighton was only 9 when the article was published. Thirteen yeas later after developing his skills as a figure skater, he move to Montreal to become an engineer. Nova Scotia was an early center for equipment manufacturing and high class skates were being made there as early as 1861. Creighton had sticks sent from Halifax to Montreal in 1875. it is widley held that he wrote the first published rules, which appeared in the Montreal Gazette on Feb. 27, 1877 two years after the first game at Victoria Rink. Five years later Creighton moved to Ottawa to become a civil servant and, together with colleagues, formed a team-the Rideau Rebels-which included two sons of Lord Stanley of Preston (who would donate the Stanley Cup in 1893). Hockey began to take hold in 1883 with the first hockey tournament at the Montreal Winter Carnival. Three teams-McGill, the Victorias and a third from Quebec City-played on the ice covered St. Lawrence River with seven players aside. The following year, five teams participated and in 1885 it became a six team tournament-including five clubs from Montreal ( the Victorias, the Crystals, McGill, the Montreal Football Club and the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association-better known as the Montreal A.A.A.) and one from Ottawa. This led to a winter long tournament the following year and in 1887 an official league called the Amateur Hockey Association of Canada was formed. In 1892-93, the Montreal A.A.A. was awarded the first Stanley Cup. Creighton never did have his name on the Holy Grail, but his name has an even more prominent place in the history of hockey in North America. This story was taken from the Collector's Edition of The Hockey News circa 1998. Hope this helps

unlike Basketball there is no 1 person who invented the game. That question is the source of great debate, I doubt you'll get a clean answer without debate.

- It was founded by the mic mac Indians
- It started in New Brunsick
- It started in Quebec
- It is a new form of game that came from England
- I think there are other theories.... Thats all I can think of right now.

I have a project for school also, thanks for the input!!!!

I always thought it was Bob Dole ;)
