Background History of Ice
Hockey
● The modern game of hockey emerged in England in the mid-18th century and is largely
attributed to the growth of public schools, such as Eton. The first Hockey Association was
formed in the UK in 1876 and drew up the first formal set of rules.
● Ice hockey was developed in Canada. The first recorded public indoor ice hockey game, with
rules largely borrowed from field hockey, took place in Montreal's Victoria Skating Rink in 1875
between two teams of McGill University students.
● Hockey Canada was founded in 1968
● The name hockey has been attributed to the French word hoquet (shepherd's stick).
● Canada's national winter sport.

Basics of the
Game
It’s just like soccer! Except...

6. SLIDESMANIA.COM
SLIDESMANIA.COM
...it is played on frozen
ice with razor sharp
blades attached to your
feet...

7. SLIDESMANIA.COM
SLIDESMANIA.COM
....wearing gear that
stinks so bad you can’t
wash the smell off your
hands...

8. SLIDESMANIA.COM
SLIDESMANIA.COM
...6 players at a time, not 11...

9. SLIDESMANIA.COM
SLIDESMANIA.COM
...shift on the fly, as often
as you like, and players
can come back on the
ice if they come off...

10. SLIDESMANIA.COM
SLIDESMANIA.COM
...offside is via the blue
line, not the last defender
- the player with puck has
to cross blue line first...

11. SLIDESMANIA.COM
SLIDESMANIA.COM
...goalie has a lot of gear,
but the size of the gear
is regulated...

12. SLIDESMANIA.COM
SLIDESMANIA.COM
...nets are smaller, at 4
feet by 6 feet...

13. SLIDESMANIA.COM
SLIDESMANIA.COM
...yet somehow, there is
a lot more scoring in
hockey...and no ties...

14. SLIDESMANIA.COM
SLIDESMANIA.COM
...you play with a puck
instead of a ball - 6
ounces of frozen
vulcanized rubber that
travels at 100 mph...

15. SLIDESMANIA.COM
SLIDESMANIA.COM
...you don’t ‘head’ the
puck - see previous slide!

16. SLIDESMANIA.COM
SLIDESMANIA.COM
No diving - you will get a
penalty and will be
mocked...

17. SLIDESMANIA.COM
SLIDESMANIA.COM
If you make an infraction, you get a penalty and your
team plays down a player (min of 3 on ice all times)

18. SLIDESMANIA.COM
SLIDESMANIA.COM
Penalties are served in the Penalty Box

19. SLIDESMANIA.COM

I can get pretty crowded in there

...full game is three 20
minute periods, and the
playing surface is scraped
and flooded by a Zamboni...

“Youth Hockey”
● Costs about $5,000 a year for higher end
players, who have a game or practice
almost every day of the season
● Many parents think their kid will become a
professional, but that is literally a “one in a
million” chance

23. SLIDESMANIA.COM
SLIDESMANIA.COM
“Beer League”
● About 600,000 players in leagues in Canada
(out of 37 million Canadians)
● Costs about $500 for a game a week for half
a year
● Games played anywhere from 6am to
midnight
● This is for players who never got to play as a
professional, but still love the game
● Called “beer league” because you usually
have a cerveza after the game...

Steve plays Defense for the Iceholes in the
ASHL (Beer League)
The Icehole’s claim to fame
was receiving a letter from the

they were the most penalized
team in the entire Vancouver
Div. (80+ teams).. They have
toned it down since....

Pond Hockey
● Find a frozen pond, shovel off the snow, lace
up your skates, and start playing
● Just make sure the ice is thick enough first!

27. SLIDESMANIA.COM

fill with water and let it freeze
