It was people from Northern Ireland who first brought hurling to Canada. We found out that William Cochran, a principal in a school in Windsor, Nova Scotia, was teaching his pupils hurling, which he then improvised into ice hurling. The seed of the game came from hurling and ice hurling, and then the game just took off. After hurling took to the ice and became ice hurling, it took a new life of its own. A new sport.
