Sport History
The word hockey comes from old French “hocquet” which meant “stick”. It’s widely accepted that the sport originated in the 19th century in Nova Scotia. The first Olympic Games to include ice hockey for men were the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp. Hockey was then played again at the first Olympic Winter Games in 1924 in Chamonix.
