Who created hockey?
Protected question
Nobody knows for certain, since hockey has been played for thousands of years:

  • drawings of hockey have been found in 4000-year-old tombs in Egypt;
  • there are Greek statues of people playing hockey dating from around 500 BCE;
  • Far-Eastern and South American cultures have played hockey for between 600 and 1000 years; and
  • various rulers in the Middle Ages tried to ban some forms of "hockie".

Modern day hockey is attributed to being started in the early to mid 1800's in England.
