Ice hockey is believed to have evolved from simple stick and ball games played in the 18th and 19th centuries in Britain, Ireland, and other countries. Games like bandy, hurling, shinty, and lacrosse also had an influence on the development of ice hockey. Organized ice hockey games were first played on skates in England. However, Canada played a significant role in modernizing and popularizing the sport.

In 1825, Franklin noted that as his men settled into their winter quarters on the shores of Great Bear Lake, they passed the time by skating and playing hockey. Local Dene oral history also speaks of people “flying around” and playing on the ice. This historic event, and the place of pride it occupies in Délı̨nę, have inspired a mural, comic book, and custom-designed tabletop hockey game in the Discovery Gallery. Délı̨nę is officially recognized as a Territorial Historic Site because of its hockey history.

Ice hockey developed from the field hockey in Canada in the second half of the 19th century. Similarly as the previous theory, this theory claims that ice hockey was invented in Canada in the latter 18th century. According to this theory ice hockey was introduced by Icelandic immigrants to Canada in mid-1800’s. Windsor (Nova Scotia, Canada) claims that it is the birthplace of the ice hockey. In fact, this theory is strongly connected with the theory that ice hockey is a game adopted from Mi’kmaq Indians.
