Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Hockey is to Canada (as well as the Northern United States and parts of Europe) what association football is to the rest of the world. It is an obsession, a religion that unifies Canadians of every race and colour. It is also our official national winter sport.[2] Hockey's true origins are uncertain, but the most widely believed story is that the game was created by a group of British colonists settling in Canada who were trying to create a winter version of rugby. Early versions of the game followed many of the offensive rules of rugby (no forward passes, a large number of players on the ice at once) with the goal-scoring of association football. Years later, the forward pass was added and hockey began to form its own identity, while the game began to grow in popularity throughout Canada. |
