Halifax rules are considered to be the first ever “standardised” rules of the ice hockey (we mean ice hockey in the form similar to the current ice hockey). As we have said, Halifax rules were never published but we know their outline – in an interview with James Power, a sports reporter, Colonel Byron Weston revealed the outline of the so-called Halifax rules and we cite these rules from CBC.ca. Halifax rules were taken to the Montreal by James George Aylwin Creighton and were altered to the Montreal rules (or McGill rules).

Montreal (or McGill) rules are considered to be the first ever published rules of ice hockey. According to the athletics.mcgill.ca these rules were submitted by James George Aylwin Creighton. Montreal (McGill) rules are based on rules for the field hockey.

The first rules of the ice hockey (we mean the ice hockey in the form similar to the current ice hockey) were published by James George Aylwin Creighton on the February 27, 1877 in The (Montreal) Gazette. The rules of Ice hockey are said to have been devised by Canadian J G A Creighton. These rules are called Montreal rules (or McGill rules) and they developed from so-called Halifax rules which were in use around mid-1800s.

The earliest knowledge of Rules of Ice Hockey that appear to have been recorded were the Halifax Rules as published by a Nova Scotia newspaper reporter named James Power, who was generally known across the country as The Dean of Canadian Sports Reporters. Power recorded the rules as related to him by Byron Weston who had become the president of the Dartmouth Amateur Athletic Association and who had played in the Halifax-Dartmouth area as early as the 1860s with teams from the area including native Mi’kmaq players. In his own words, these were the rules used as Colonel Weston and his friends played the game in the mid 1800s. It is very likely that the rules were much the same from the beginning, a mere five decades before.
