Why hockey isn?t really our game: Canada?s national sport was born on the frozen ponds of England, book reveals

man hockey was probably played in various forms around the world ....a derivative if you will.
If it was England then they should have kept it, its still Canada's game


like boxing! Go around the world and you will always find 2 people wanting to beat the hell out of each other.

Hockey wasnt kept in England because nobody wanted to pay to watch, they all wanted to play. And thats because of the beer factor.

yes they were almost like a dynasty, they used the severed heads of their sacrifices and bathed in blood and ate their hearts. The CBA didnt have any rule for those types of performance enhancing styles

Even the Canadian origin story says that the British taught the Canadians the game but Creighton rules were written in Canada.
So like boxing wasn't invented in England, they just had a set of rules everybody liked.

Of course the Aztecs beat the Mayans - The Mayans were missing half of their team because they couldn't read their own calendar.
