@very-rusty saidThe origin of ice hockey was bandy, a game that has its roots in the Middle Ages. Just as for practically all other sports, the game of bandy achieved its modern form during the 19th century in England, more exactly in the Fen district on the East coast. From the Fen district the game was spread to London and from London to the Continent during the second half of the 19th century. British soldiers stationed in eastern Canada brought the game to the North American continent in the 1850's and '60's. You could find similar games there, played by immigrants (chiefly Dutch) and by Indians. Thus there were a number of different games played on skates with a stick and ball and with varying rules in America before ice hockey was invented.[4]
When was hockey invented in Canada?
1875
Ice hockey
First played1875, Montreal, Canada
The development of the modern version of organized ice hockey played as a team sport is often credited to James Creighton. In 1872, he moved from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Montreal, bringing skates, hockey sticks, and a game with a basic set of rules with him.

I believe it was Ian Christopher Elias Hockey, a Scotsman who, while chasing one of his Highland Cattle, over a frozen pond, with a stick, when the beastie dropped a load. Trying to avoid the dropping Ian slipped and while trying to keep himself from falling he happened to hit the dropping with the stick causing it to propel forward. An there you have it. The “real” answer to your query.🤔👍
