Most people consider its rightful birthplace to be in Canada, where hockey is the country’s national sport. Some say that the Irish and French played a version back in the 1700s, but others say that Canadians invented it in the mid-1800s. The Hockey Hall of Fame is located in Toronto, Ontario.

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.
