Ice hockey is a sport that combines the technical and tactical concepts of football, hockey and speed skating. It appeared a little later than football, hockey and speed skating.

Ice hockey needs agile and skillful cornering skills, fast and changeable skating skills and a sense of collective cooperation. It is a team sport with strong physical antagonism.

According to records, before British and French immigrants and British colonists came to Canada, local Indians had played an interesting game on the ice. Later, after the British colonists occupied North America, British soldiers in Canada were inspired by Indians. In their spare time, they often made cans on ice.

When the ice activities in various countries were still in the game stage, Canadian student U Robertson applied the hockey skills he learned during his study in Britain to the ice, and combined with the characteristics of Indian "Lacrose" ball, created a new ice sport, which was the embryonic form of ice hockey.
