The earliest forms of ice hockey developed over the centuries in
numerous cold weather countries. In the 17th century, a game
similar to hockey was played in Holland known as kolven. But the
modern sport of ice hockey arose from the efforts of college
students and British soldiers in eastern Canada in the mid-19th
century. Since then, ice hockey has moved from neighborhood lakes
and ponds to international competitions, such as the Summit Series
and the Winter Olympics. Historical Dictionary of Ice Hockey traces
the history and evolution of hockey in general, as well as
individual topics, from their beginnings to the present, through a
chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive
bibliography. The dictionary has more than 600 cross-referenced
entries on the players, general managers, managers, coaches, and
referees, as well as entries for teams, leagues, rules, and
statistical categories. This book is an excellent access point for
students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about ice
hockey.
