Where did hockey orginate from?
In the town of Windsor, Nova Scotia, considered one of the birthplaces of the game, a story has long circulated regarding a Colonel Hockey, stationed at the garrison on Fort Edward. The Colonel used the game to keep his troops conditioned, and the game soon adopted his name, as many referred to these workouts as “Hockey’s Game.” Though there is no official documentation backing either claim, timing lends credence to the Colonel’s story. The British Army list, housed in the Library of Nova Scotia’s General Assembly in Halifax, lists a John Hockey serving in the mid-1800s when the name of the game was adopted.
