The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) was established in 1908. Ice hockey made its Olympic presentation at the 1924 Chamonix Winter Games.
A Canadian past
Ice hockey started in Canada in the mid nineteenth century, in view of a few comparable games played in Europe, despite the fact that "hockey" originates from the old French word "hocquet", signifying "stick". Around 1860, a puck was substituted for a ball, and in 1879 two McGill University understudies, Robertson and Smith, concocted the principal rules.
Stanley Cup
The main perceived group, the McGill University Hockey Club, was framed in 1880 as hockey turned into the Canadian national game and spread all through the nation. In 1892 the Governor General of Canada gave the Stanley Cup, which was first won by a group speaking to the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association.
Global development
The game relocated south to the United States amid the 1890s, and recreations are known to have occurred there between Johns Hopkins and Yale Universities in 1895. Ice hockey spread to Europe when the new century rolled over, and the principal Olympic Games to incorporate ice hockey for men were the 1920 Antwerp Summer Games.
Olympic history
Six-a-side men's ice hockey has been on the program of each release of the Winter Games since 1924 in Chamonix. Ladies' ice hockey was acknowledged as an Olympic game in 1992, and made its official introduction in 1998 in Nagano.
Obviously, Canada overwhelmed the principal competitions. Be that as it may, in 1956, and until its disintegration, the Soviet Union assumed control and turned into the main group. It was intruded on just by USA triumphs in 1960 in Squaw Valley and in 1980 in Lake Placid.
