The sport of hockey was formally invented in Bushy Park by the local cricket club looking to play sport following a particularly wet summer, and created hockey and Teddington Hockey Club which still exists to this day. Hockey as a game has been around for centuries, and Teddington formalised the rules and the way the game is played back in 1871. The imprint that these men left on the game is still there today, the basic rules, the size of the pitch, and the ball, which is just a cricket ball painted white. But in my opinion Teddington are the most influential team in modern hockey because they formalised the rules and you can see their influence all over the game.

Although there are localities and remains that confirm that hockey already existed in Egypt and Ireland, the invention again belongs to the English; at least the modern version of 1886. The first club of the sport goes back to 1861 in London. At first, it was only men, but in 1880 women began to participate in the sport as well. The International Hockey Federation was created in 1886, and the first international matches were held in 1890. It was part of the 1908 Olympic Games.
