Darwin's letter was sent to his then 13-year-old son William, who was boarding at Shrewsbury School at the time, on March 1, 1853. If that is the case, ice hockey would have been played in Britain at least 50 years earlier than the first officially recognised match in Canada, where is it now a national sport and general obsession. Jean-Patrice Martel, a member of the Society for International Hockey Research, poured fuel of the fire by claiming the early 1820s was around the time that a game recognisable as ice hockey started. The trio also found an entry in the Lincolnshire Chronicle dated February 16, 1838 that backs up claims the ice hockey was being played in Britain in the first half of the 19th century.
Canada took the game, sped it up and made it better. Canada really made the game its own and hockey is truly a Canadian game now.

Though the sport of ice hockey in particular got its start in Canada during the early 1800s, it was based on European field hockey. British ice hockey developed in the mid-1800s and the UK’s iteration of the game is what most now think about when it comes to the sport. Back then, ice hockey was played with a stick and ball and was a way for Englishmen to pass time.

The modern form of Ice Hockey was developed in Canada in the late 19th century. Ice Hockey was not invented by a single individual but rather evolved over time from games like hurling and shinty.
