History

• The roots of hockey are buried deep in antiquity. Historical


records show that a crude form of the game was played in Egypt
4,000 years ago and in Ethiopia around 1,000BC. Various
museums offer evidence that a form of the game was played by
the Romans and Greeks as well as by the Aztecs several
centuries before Columbus arrived in the New World.
• GREECE, c. 510 BC : Κερητίζειν (kerētízein), κέρας, kéras,
in ANCIENT GREEK
• EGYPTIAN, c. 200 BCE: lawn-and-field sports like hockey
and GROUND BILLIARDS
• EAST ASIA, 300 BC: carved wooden stick and ball prior
• INNER MONGOLIA: BEIKOU (last 1000 yrs)
• EUROPEAN 1400-1700 : near-identical depictions
History
• The word hockey itself was recorded in 1363 when
EDWARD III of England issued the proclamation:
"Moreover we ordain that you prohibit under penalty of
imprisonment all and sundry from such stone, wood and
iron throwing; handball, football, or hockey; coursing and
cock-fighting, or other such idle games.“
• China, Ming Dynasty (1368-1644): field hockey or ground
billiards variant, called suigan

Modern Hockey
• The modern game grew from English PUBLIC SCHOOLS
in the early 19th century. The first club was in 1849 at
BLACKHEATH in south-east LONDON, but the modern
rules grew out of a version played by MIDDLESEX
CRICKET clubs for winter sport. TEDDINGTON Hockey
Club formed the modern game by introducing the
striking circle and changing the ball to a sphere from a
rubber cube.
• 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.
