At that time, there were no regulations on the number of participants and the size of the venue. Players hold clubs and skates, erect two wooden poles as goals on natural ice such as rivers, use logs as balls, chase and hit the ball back and forth on the ice, and shoot the ball into the door to decide whether to win or lose, which gradually evolved into a modern ice hockey sport.
Ice hockey evolved from ground hockey and originated in northern Europe, with a history of more than 500 years. British soldiers stationed in Canada introduced the sport to North America. 1855, an ice game was popular in Kingston, Canada. Participants had skates tied to their feet and bent sticks in their hands. On the frozen lake, they chased a ball made of logs, used two erected wooden poles as the goal and hit the ball into the goal. The number of participants is unlimited.
Brief introduction of ice hockey
It is a collective competitive sport on the ice with skates and hockey sticks as tools. It consists of men's and women's events, and it is an independent winter sport in international sports taxonomy.
Ice hockey appeared later than football, hockey and speed skating. According to research, modern ice hockey originated in Canada. W·F· Robertson, an English student studying in Canada, skates very well. He moved the hockey he learned during his study in England to play on the ice, and combined with the characteristics of "lacrosse", he created a new ice sport in 1783. The important international organizations of ice hockey are the National Ice Hockey League and the International Ice Hockey Federation.
