History:
While it has always
been known that hockey has a long history
in Canada, its origins have never really
been established. There were claims that
hockey started in Montreal, Halifax and
Kingston, but these still remain to be proven
to this day. What was established, however,
was the fact that the first hockey organization
in Canada, the Ontario Hockey Association,
was established in November 1890. Hockey
organizations emerged in other parts of
Canada following this, and in December 4,
1914, a group of sports administrators held
a meeting in Ottawa to establish a national
governing body for amateur hockey. After
many years of administering the sport, the
Canadian Amateur Hockey Association merged
with Hockey Canada in 1994 to form one entity,
Hockey Canada. Currently, Hockey Canada
manages all national teams, including the
men’s, women’s, junior men’s
under-18 world championship teams. It also
coordinates with 13 branch associations,
the Canadian Hockey League, and the Canadian
Inter-University Sports to conduct national
programming activities.
